Does anyone remember what the issue price for these dies were from the US Mint and how many were sold?

Thanks!

    They were $39.95 if I remember correctly. They sold out in less than two weeks and are currently going for $600 or more for the most common design. They are really neat since they were cancelled with a ground "X" accross the die face leaving about 95% of the design intact rather than being totally defaced like the current dies being sold by the mint.

    No, they were $49.95 per Die set.

    I ordered 500 Dies, on three different Credit Cards,
    and got a confirmation number on each order from the
    Mint.

    4-5 Days later, the Mint was overwhelmed with orders
    (I knew they would be, they were an incredible deal
    at $50 each!), and the Mint cancelled my orders totaling
    500 Dies, and instead, I got one Die per order - total of 3 !!

    The Mint sold 2,833 $1 Silver, and $5 Gold (combined)
    Olympic Dies, Proofs and Uncs.

    There were 22 diff. Obv. & Rev. Dies for both denoms....

    I believe you are wrong. I called them the same day the sale started that morning and was told they were sold out. I was quite disappointed.
