Will these new sets with presidents and silver eagle be a hit,I'm just wondering if this was just something the mint put together to get rid of whats left in thier inventory for a fast sell,or maybe not ,anyways for $32 it does sound like a small investment,who else is getting one too!

Other than a few examples, the bulk of them are simply worthless washers to me.
They may be coins, but they aren't real money.
Call me old fashioned. I don't mind a bit.
Several years ago on the Bay, a seller had over 100 assorted sets with choice coins cut out, one or two in each set and they were listed as pre-1965.
The price was too good and I BIN'ed it.
Upon receipt, they went up through 1985 and I emailed him about a return.
He offered a 65% cash return if I would keep them instead. Apparently he thought like me.
Nah! i won't be buying any.

I'll pass. This is exciting as offering bread by the single slice, or 2 slices, or a half-loaf, or a whole loaf, or 2 loaves, or a case.
For the really resistant buyers, a ham sandwich, peanut butter & jelly, egg salad, pastrami, or whatever.
Still not interested? How about a sandwich, soda or coffee, and a bag of chips.

Apparently it's a hit...with over 30,000 sold the first week....
Repetition of ignorance is ignorance raised to the power two.
lol. does that remind you of the franklin mint or what? i know that
was the key for me picking up 25 sets. they will be worth a ton in
5 years!
<< <i>Isn't it the only way a individual collector can get a Silver Eagle directly from the mint? And for the first time I think?
Nope...the ASE w's are still available @ $21.95 from the Mint.

do the dollar coins in the new Presidential sets being sold by the mint come with the "satin finsh" or business strike
I did purchase one. I think it's a neat set. There was some debate as to whether the Silver Eagle has the W
mint mark. According to Coin World, it does.
It has been verified by some board members here who have received them that the eagle is a "W' mint mark!......I like these sets!
<< <i>I agree, there is nothing uncommon about them, but I did purchase a couple. West point SAE, satin finish dollars - and the nicest ones I've seen yet, especially the Sacagawea. I received mine last Friday. I'm not sure what, but there is something about this little set that is appealing. >>
I like the capsules that you can rotate..this way everyone faces u.
