At $52.95 a set, July 17th at 12 noon, means nothing to me!

I don't think it's that bad of a deal, considering just the D.C. & Territories Silver Proof Set was offered from the mint for $29.95 + shipping. Thats over half the cost for the whole 2009 silver set (which is 18 coins not 6)

Wow, up to $52.95/set. I guess I'll probably only be buying 3 or 4 max this year.
I used to order 5 or 10, but that's a little pricey.

Of course I managed to miss the big years! '99 and '01!

Personally, I'd rather they just sold the "silver" coins in the silver proof set.

I don't need to pay for the extra set of Prez dollars and Lincoln cents!
I suspect most that buy the silver proof sets buy the clad sets anyway.

This will be my last year of buying these. They are now very overpriced with a poor history of price appreciation in the secondary market.

So why buy the '09's?

I'm assuming for a "full collection" of silver proof state quarters, now that they've added the territories?

No need to buy the whole '09 set just to get the Territories. Linkage

I use them as gifts. This year's sets will complete the states/districts/territories/commonwealths set that started in 1999. They also have the Lincoln cents in them.

Next year, I'll find something else to use as gifts.

Maybe for the cents too as well possibly? For me it is my granddaughter's birth year.

From the mint mailer...

This set contains 18 coins struck in beautiful proof condition. Yeah right, maybe half of them are. Besides proof is a method of manufacture not a state of condition. You'd think they'd know the difference.

Well, maybe one set...... Cheers, RickO

At this price there will be a lot fewer INITIAL buyers I think. Figure at Christmas time these will be HOT. Especially if they end production before christmas and you have the regular holiday buyers and the remorse buyers (the guys who didnt buy when available and figure they need one now).

My dirty little secrt I have the proof set run from 1950 to now... Working on the 36-42 sets now...

I think you all are nuts, this is the mints largest set proof 18, silver proof 18 and mint set 36 that makes 16 copper pennies. This set will probably be one of the best sets yet. All those pennies out there the crazy people are buying are just regular old pennies. Yes they have the 4 different backs but they are still just pennies. The only way to get the copper is getting the 3 sets above and then when and if they ever come out with the special Linc. special set of course that is only 50,000 of them. I think you really need to get all three set to make them the best sale.

Has anybody gotten a Shipping Confirmation from the mint on their orders yet?

Mine went into "In Stock and Reserved" on the 15th.
