45.95 for 25.00 bag of Journey Nickels
is the price of a nickel a bit much from the mint?
And will these be a hit like the 50 state collections?

but I have to be the first one on my block to show one of these beautiful coins off..

Thanks for the reply. Its good to know how much people think of your questions.

I can almost see paying the 8 bucks or so for the rolls, but the bags are WAY overpriced. I am just gonna buy a few rolls when the bank gets them. Then I will see if I can get a friend out west to get me a roll of D marked ones. Unless someone wants to swap here?

Any takers?

That’s what I thought. I can understand the mint wanting to make some money on this and I thought the quarters were a little high. I wonder if they get the price they are looking for they will raise the price of the next quarters, ouch. I guess that’s good if your sitting on some of that 1999 stuff.

How much of that is shipping? Those are heavy.

None, the shipping is extra. From what I understand the shipping on the roll sets is $4.95 The shipping on the bags is also $4.95 plus $7.95 per bag because of the weight.

Believe it or not but the 2 rools have a markup of 120% and the bags are just under 90%. The thing that makes the rolls easier is it is under $10 , most people do not mindingspnding under this on two rolls. All in the mind and yes i ordered two sets. I can still not figure out why the mint feels it should charge so much for these.

Zorman

Well I ordered 10 roll sets and 6 $25.00 bags so if the price keeps people from buying them maybe there well be a low mintage.
and that would be good for me. And o yea the shipping was like 53.00 what brought the total to 417.85
