I wonder if why they did this and if they have ever done it before...
Do you think the new distribution center is taking metrics (purchases per view, or something like that) and determining that they will only sell a certain amount, then reducing the production limit to make sure they achieve their new target?
My guess is they took a look at sales to date, and decided they didn't want them languishing into next year and decided to end production. A December sale out.
Of course you know what this really means don't you?
It means that nobody really wants them and if anybody is really trying to shake the "rarity" pole just remember that...........people don't want them. At least, not for $99! If they'd have priced them correctly, they just might have sold out but $99 is just way out of line.
I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

Uhhhhh. Maybe they aren't "getting any orders to process" comes to mind.

Mint overpriced set based on low Silver content.....and low Silver price.. Also the name has small recognition from newer generations
Still making about 100% over demand. Was looking at graded coins on eBay and many of them had to be submitted in bulk to sell for those prices and make investment back. I'm waiting think this one will tank. Especially since it's being considered a modern commemorative.
"As of November 24, sales have reached 165,824 units, up by 21,252 from the prior week. The cumulative total now represents 73.70% of the revised product limit. The US Mint has indicated that the product will remain available until sold out."
May take a while.
"Bongo drive 1984 Lincoln that looks like old coin dug from ground."
Looks like they are trying to drum up some business by announcing a lower mintage, but 225,000 is still a lot of a non circulating set of coins.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

Once it sells out, then you'll get the "I can't get it anymore" and that will temporarily push prices up.
Wish they would do something about the gold Kennedy.

Or until that magic date of 2/5/2015 when they "predictably" rise to $1800!

I need a bail out. TARP seems quite appropriate!
