It better to have a sell out  than be faced with the prospect of storing and then ultimately destroying a  product which cost money to produce." My take is that since the Mint stop producing these Presidential dollars en masse for 2012, this all of a sudden made the sets more desireable because of the lower mintage. They underestimated the public's interest in these 2012 sets especially since they apparently made too many 2011's. The problem is we don't know the mintage of these or how many more 2011 sets are left.  But I agree it's better if they are sold out. I had to buy the 2012 Proof set on the secondary market at a higher price. But the quality is soooo much better than the common ones.[/QUOTE]
