2007 US Mint Sets

Hopefully the price is right and the fact of the additional dollar coins many will buy.

Possibly the dollar coins will be worth the price, for possible MS69's.

Will anyone be buying these sets?

Thanks,

Chris

Maybe, I'm not certain

I will. I've given my boss a mint set every year since '99. I'll probably order an extra one for myself also.

I'm a little POed at myself for having ordered a 2006 set by accident when I ordered some stuff earlier. They have them still for sale with all the 2007 stuff and I didn't notice that it WASN'T a 2007 set.

Yes I will be buying. I would like to buy several to search. I still have a stock pile of 2005 and 2006 ones to search.

In case anyone is interested. Going by the latest sales figures published in Numismatic News on August 28th, it appears the 2006 Uncirculated set will be a lower mintage than the 2005 (final mintage of 1,160,000) which is the only other satin finish set and a mintage of less than 950,000 would also make it the 2nd lowest Mint set with a Kennedy in it behind the 2004 which had a mintage of 842,507. Being the 2007 will include the satin finish Presidential dollars, it is almost certain the next few years will also be a higher mintage, making the 2006 the key of the satin finish sets.

Thanks FLBuffaloHunter for the heads up.I am picking up a few extra sets.

when the mint went to satin finish i stopped buying them. almost everything in a mint set is 67.68 or 69. pre-satin finish mint sets were very tough getting 67`s or higher. i lost interest in mint sets.

I buy a set of each from the mint each year. This year they will cost about my whole yearly allowance for coins that my wife has set.

The October 02 Numismatic News is reporting the 2007 Uncirculated Satin Finish Mint Set will go on sale October 09:


<< <i>Uncirculated Coin Sets for 2007 will be placed on sale Oct. 9 by the U.S. Mint. The set features one example of each coin from the Denver and Philadelphia mints. The price has been raised to $22.95 this year to take into account the eight new Presidential dollar coins. Since the set price was raised by only $6, collectors are getting something of a bargain. Also in the set are Denver and Philadelphia Sacagawea dollars, making for 10 dollar coins in all. There are also 10 state quarters, two half dollars, two dimes, two nickels and two cents. >>


The latest Mint sales figures put the total of the 2006 set at 921,344.

My wife just called me at the coin shoppe to tell me she had seen an ad on TV for them. The Mint's website still says that they will be offered in "Fall."

The Mint has posted October 09 as the day they go on sale.

I will because I'm a fan of satin SAC.

The new redesigned 28-coin set is up in upcoming products. Pretty cool and a bargain at $22.95

Sweet! Thank you for the info.

I agree! A little more than ten bucks when you consider the value of the coins themselves. Quite a bargain. They'll probably revise their pricing for next year.

jsf

why, oh why did the mint resize the slabs for these in the next to FINAL year of the state quarters program? Sure, they needed room due to the extra coins, but they didn't resize the proof and silver sets, so wtf, over?

thanks a lot, mint.

The Mint will also offer the Uncirculated Presidential dollars in three seperate configurations later this year.



<< <i>Later this year, the Presidential $1 Coin Uncirculated Sets will be introduced. The three Presidential $1 Coin Uncirculated Set options - four-coin "P" mint mark, four-coin "D" mint mark, and eight-coin "P" and "D" set - offer historical details about each of our first four Presidents. Please check www.usmint.gov/catalog for availability. >>

I think that puts it at $7.13 for the packaging. Doesn't sound like a bargain to me. Having said that, I get one every year

While the term "bargain" might be debatable, the fact remains that the Mint has added $8.00 (face value) more in coins (4 Prez dollars from each mint) to the set, while increasing the total price of the set less than $8.00 (2006 price was $16.95 versus 2007 price of $22.95). So by my math:

2006 Mint set
$5.82 in face value divided by $16.95 selling price = 34.3% of total price is face value

2007 Mint set
$13.82 in face value divided by $22.95 selling price = 60.2% of total price is face value

I do not want to be considered a "mint apologist", but this year's set is certainly more of a "bargain" than previous years from a pure "face value" perspective. It is yet to be seen how the "new packaging" will affect the amount of 70s graded from these sets though, but I for one am very optimistic about the potential. Now we just need to hope for an early end to this set so we can get some 2004 type numbers... Wishful thinking on my part I believe

The problem with the mint is that they take credit cards and won't take 90% silver in trade ... We could solve so many problems with METALS if there were a system allowing me to buy new widgets with old ones.
I'd give them one silver quarter for ten in clad and I'd even be willing to pay the shipping.
