Are You Buying The Kennedy 2 Coin Set?

Who is buying the Kennedy 2 coin set when it goes on sale tomorrow?
Or will you wait and combine your order with the gold on August 5th?
Or are you passing on the 2 coin set completely?
My thought is to combing this set with a gold half on the 5th. Saving a second shipping cost of half the price of the set as well as getting upgraded delivery by having gold in the combined order. I wouldn't get the set by the 5th, even if they shipped the next day, if I order tomorrow anyway. Getting both the same day seems a lot better.

junk territory.
Reading all the commentary will be entertaining over the comming months though.
Are they giving a date certain on the silvers yet?

Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
Latin American Collection
buying at that price thinking these might go up to maybe $10,000.00 each. Imagine the anger and shock when in a year
the value drops to $20.00.(First Strike 70)
Final mintage probably 1.6 million.
Dealers might offer $1.00 each.
Better get in line.

Glad i got mine.
More fun for those who enjoy reading the PCGS Forum. I've already predicting sales of 1.6 million on these
Clads but now I wonder. They need to package these up as 2 coin sets, maybe they won't be able to handle
1.6 million?
Alright my revised guess is 1,282,069. Pump up the volume !
So for these, the same coins that "no one is buying". Looks like the one or two folks that logged on to the mint website are causing it to bog down. Now if those two customers are causing this, can you imaging what will happen on August 5th?
Can't wait for the US Mint to upgrade their system (lots of sarcasm here).
I see offers to sell Baseball HOF Clad Halves ( First Strike MS / PF70) on ebay for $2,000 and
even more. Those darned coins can still be had from the Mint. But of course the FS deadline is
long gone.
How crazy will these JFK's get ? Really CRAZY.
I think more people are buying than you might think . . . I placed 2 orders, and from the finish of the first order and the second order, the order number changed by 144 numbers!!
Blessings
Will flip to a local shop that wants to get a bunch to get graded.
Got quoins?

Today is the tomorrow that you asked about yesterday.

I've found that paying money for clad coins is a losing proposition unless you just want it as a collector.
One thing that is a concern, however. If the only difference between these Kennedy half dollar things and the Mint Set Kennedy half dollar things is the 1964 style die work vs. the modern die work I can see some scam potential here. If the 1964 die work turns out to be something special I could see the sharpies trying to scam the newbies. The differences are fairly subtle if you are not a "coin freak" like some of us.
and the sculp of the Coin itself is bad.
I think the Silver versions will be worthwhile. Maybe even the Gold one although I'm wondering if I want to waste
that kind of money.
The Clads seem to be going like hotcakes. Wonder how it will go when the orders take forever to be delivered?
Also when the prices drop down and the First Strike Deadline is gone, how will it go then?
<< <i>The Clads seem to be going like hotcakes. Wonder how it will go when the orders take forever to be delivered? >>
The first report of the clad set shipping will prove if it will take forever or be quick like regular proof and uncirculated sets.
At what time were you allowed to enter the waiting room? 11:45am? 12:00 noon?
Now I see the backorder date is 9-06-14.

It's possible the pre-minted quantity was exhausted in the first few hours.
