<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dponsness, post: 580864, member: 14967&quot;]This will put additional fuel on the &quot;fire&quot; that the 2009 business strikes will become &quot;key dates&quot;, &quot;modern rarities&quot;, etc. etc.&nbsp; I expect that we will soon see listings on ebay and later on one of the cable &quot;coin shows&quot; that cater to the un-informed.&nbsp; One thing to consider, the published figures are for business strikes and <b><u>not</u></b> mint set strikes (proofs are a different matter altogether).&nbsp; I anticipate there will be at least a millon uncirculated mint sets produced in 2009 (if not more) due to the perceived demand by the public.&nbsp; In fact, if I was really cynical (well, I guess I am), I would think that the Mint has intentionally lowered production so they can sell more bags, rolls and specifically uncirc mint sets.&nbsp; Figuring there is $14.38 face in a set, and that the price as I recall is going to be around $30 - that isn&#039;t a bad markup at all.&nbsp; This with their need to do maintenance on their facilities as well makes it a win - win situation for the Mint.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
