Is there a reason why the price jumped to $74.00 for The Mint set roll of the Minnesota State quarter? Normally the price will go to about $45 - $50 a roll after the mint cuts off the sales. Are we looking at some error possibilities? Thanks, BWJR
I bet that the mint messed up like it does offen....BUT I wouldn't be shocked to know that the mint would up its price again... Speedy
The Mint sells each state quarter Two-Roll Set for 10 weeks. The Minnesota set sold out in 4 weeks (32 days). That unusually early sellout (they typically go the full ten weeks) is why the price jumped on sites that sells the sets, as well as on ebay. Currently, I don't think anyone knows why the sellout occurred. Did the Mint sell its usual mintage (70,000 - 100,000 sets... I think) in a shorter time? Or did they mint far fewer sets? Or were they not able to put together as many sets because resources are being diverted to the bison logjam? I think people immediately started buying sets in the aftermarket, hoping that the final story will unfold in their favor. Within days of the sell out (on May 6th) prices went from 39.95 to 74.95 and 64.95 on a few coin dealer sites that I'm aware of. On ebay, the prices seem to be going in the high 40 dollar range. If anyone has the mintage figures for the Minnesota two-roll set, please post them.
