The total in NN this week is 18,025. If I had a bunch of these - sure thing, I'd sell them for $2,649.95 too!
Amazingly, it looks as if the Mint has sold 60 or 70 more of these in the past few weeks. I'm perplexed as to why someone who wanted a set wouldn't just buy them on ebay alot cheaper, and certified to boot!

I noticed this too. I had been checking the last few weeks and it moved only a handful (literally) each time. This is the first I've seen it over 18K. Could just be more of that funky mint accounting catching up.
EDITED TO ADD: When will they stop selling the 2001 Kennedy's!!!!
<< <i>If they've already made all 30K, what's the problem with cutting it at a certain date and melting the rest for use for '08 plats? I
If they haven't been minted fully, then no problem at all. I just don't understand them folks. >>
It will be interesting since they can't make anymore 2007's and are just trying to sell whats on hand. I didn't buy the set coming out and I'm waiting on this one. I remember when they first came out they were way over priced and then the run up to 2300 made them look like those buying them were smart.
I had 3 sets all came back Pcgs 70, sold 2 sets on ebay for $2,900 and $3,100 or around there if I remember. So I have one for free after the sales. I will put it away because you will never know when I might have to chop them up in pieces of Reales to take a boat out of here. I mean out of America, Peru looks like a good place to ship off to.

1999 Susan B Anthony Dollars were sold by the US Mint for what must have been 4 years. Maybe 5 years even.

These coins have lost all potential to increase in price......

I think the lovable Mint is just selling to inexperienced buyers. Surely no one with much experience would want any 2001's.
Maybe 5-8 Years?
The idiot at the US Mint who "green-lighted" 30K Units should be shot, drawn and quartered in the Washington Mall as an example to others.
for use for '08 plats? I

In the proof series, they are #1 and #2 in terms of highest mintages (and sales), even if they stopped selling them today.
Unfortunately, if you buy one of these sets now, you risk getting one with problems that was previously returned by someone.
This is so very, very true.

I suspect that it was a committee of brain-dead idiots, but that's just speculation on my part.

Not good for us collectors. Perhaps they are trying to kill the 'flipping' that we have become used to.
