Oy...

Long term, probably all losers.

If precious metals go down and low mintage becomes an issue, maybe it is a winner but there are surer bets in this hobby
Winners are the Mint and losers are the customers
The losers are all of us collectors, as many new collectors will not be able to afford the overpriced clad proof and mint sets that get many of them into collecting. Short term thinking, the mint wins, long term they lose. Hollis should know better.
Nothings interesting at the prices there getting
Boils down to your intentions.
Flip? pick a 'short term' possible profit margin maker like 2026 silver coin set or a pf70 graded P eagle.. roll the dice.
If your intent is to hold and enjoy for better or for worse... then order your mail order bride (coin) !!
If you are looking for bragging rights on this forum, it is a tough cranky crowd.. Good Luck!
When I was a kid, lots of us got into collecting coins. Proof and mint sets (or anything costing over face value, really) weren't even on our radar, maybe it's different now?
Silver drops to sub $60 oz = loser
Silver hits $250 oz = winner
Unc Mint sets are likely winner but only if Two Cents included are only available in these Unc Sets.
I'm guessing these are Quick Flip Winners in spite of baseless metals contained as many do not grasp the way subscriptions work or are appalled by the price increase.
I'm satisfied with my subscription array, though my numbers could increase or decrease before issue dates. Nothing will drop to zero.
Lately I've been giving heads up posts when something out of stock is in stock again. Sometimes availability is just minutes, sometimes its an hour and at any hour of the day.
just say no
Depends upon someone's time horizon. Possible short-term interest but don't see anything more other than due to the metal content.
US collectors are so used to mintages in the 00s of 000s (or more) for mint and proof sets that less than 200,000 seems low but it actually isn't. The relative collector preference for both is really low and almost certain to decrease over time.
NCLT mintages of 1000+ to 00s of 000s aren't actually that low either, not when compared to the likely coins actually bought as alternatives, as it's not a circulating coin. These aren't realistic alternatives vs. the typical circulating coinage most collectors buy. Even for the lowest mintage, other than other NCLT, there are only a very low number of other coins both selling at comparable prices and in anywhere near proximate quality simultaneously.
