Don't see the notes worth a premium at all unless you get one from the very start of the run.
The EU finish will command a premium. How much and for how long is anyone's guess. Might be worth a nice markup but don't see these approaching the $100 range or sustaining that kind of markup in the longer term. Still a winner if you bought enough of them. Will be interesting to see if they start offering them again. The initial response may have temporarily overwhelmed them.

<< <i>Don't see the notes worth a premium at all unless you get one from the very start of the run. >>
Is anyone getting consecutive serial numbers? (In 2000, I bought 10 of the Millennium C&C sets, and none were consecutive. One year I bought 10 "Lucky Dollar" sets from the BEP ($1 FRN's with 7777 or 8888 in the serial number) for stocking stuffers, and all ten were consecutive and didn't want to give any away...)
If indeed the serial numbers run 0570 0000 to 0574 9999 then winners of this lottery will be reflectors and repeaters.
Just called the US Mint about another order. The CSR said Out of Stock means sold out generally and thought these sets were gone for good. Just an FYI. I'd bet less than 100 people accounted for the whole lot selling out yesterday!
Got up this morning and they were showing in stock. Loaded 20, went through the checkout process as a guest becuase I'd forgotten my login stuff and was in a hurry. Got to the last step and it flipped back to the initial ordering page and it said quantity not available and at that point I had to split...Don't think it went through.
<< <i>That means you also missed out on the ever popular First Spouse 2014 Bronze Medal Series for $16.95 which also went dark >>
We made a purchase for grading purposes.... Sold the sets we didn't grade @21.95 each they went extremely fast !!! Wondered why... So off to the mint site and sure enough sold out... This was last week... Saw a few auctions go @$50.00 or so

Just got home and reloaded the mint site...What it said when I tried to order 20 was quantity not available and it reduced my cart to 11 units...I checked out and did receive an order number and it says processing...Will upload screen shots later today...
The Goodacre coins had a reasonably good story, a low mintage of 5,000 and a special finish - but they've been stuck at $400 for years and recently have been selling for slightly under $400.
Maybe these coins will generate some interest in the series, and they do appear to have an attractive finish. I happen to like the series. At 50,000 this issue will give some indication of the level of collector interest in the Golden Sacs. Re-visit in one year.

Well, if it is a sell out, you should get a Last Strike label.
The five I ordered just before sell out just shipped. I wonder if they'll look any different than the one's I ordered at Noon last Thursday. HAhahahaha....
I noticed that the Mint took them off the front page. I wonder if I will be receiving an advertising flier for these in the mail from them in a couple of weeks.
Gold and silver are valuable but wisdom is priceless.
<< <i>I noticed that the Mint took them off the front page. I wonder if I will be receiving an advertising flier for these in the mail from them in a couple of weeks. >>
I guess we will know by 5 PM the mintage sold. I still don't think they are sold out. This is a new product. Would the mint invest in all that packaging at 50K without knowing if the product could be a dud.
Probably a feature of their new website. Possibly it replaces the previous system, which often accepted orders for items that were supposedly backordered but were actually sold out. I like the new system better.
I agree that they are not sold out yet. It would have taken some massive single orders to make that happen so fast. Had there been advance fanfare prior to selling, that would be different with a massive push straight out of the gate.
The "Remind Me" option is a tell-tale. Stay tuned...

If you want to have some entertainment grab a brewskie and read this thread on a coin precious metals forum. A poster asked a simple question about the C & C set and an experienced self-appointed knower-of-everything (obviously off meds) showed his true colors.
BigA -- I sure hope there isn't any duck crap over here...that link is just painful to try to read even tho it was suppose to be about this set in title.
Any guesses on what the mintage will be posted today from the mint (very soon)?
I say 20k.

Cas, the new site requires initiation hazing into the club before you can order. Don't worry, it's not too painful and the scars are not permanent...
Just follow all the instructions very carefully when you call them as requested.

However, you have to remember that this is through Sunday night, before the big reveal on Monday...
Where did you get the mintage? It's not showing on the mint production page yet.
If that's the case, there will be another whole round to this yet.

If he's constantly bogarting someone else's pictures to do his pre-sale flips, he's a rude SOB.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
Hoard the keys.

True....if asked. However, that is why I said "bogarting"....."bogarting" isn't asking...it's just taking.

05700750, 05711750,...05744750
05700570, 05710571,...05740574
05700000 and 05749999 would probably bring premiums.
Maybe some would pay extra for (you never know on ebay):
05705705
05775005
05700571, 05710572,...05740575
Otherwise, it's an instant $1 rebate, bringing the cost of the set to $12.95 (plus shipping)...
<< <i>Maybe not so wrong if he or she asked... That would help a bit. >>

We have sent some out for grading... More to go in shortly

I still say caution.

Caution is crossing the street with your eyes closed not buying $13.95 coin sets...
Maybe it's a class of 2006 thing, you weren't here then, I'd remember that...
Wow....I remember that....I found who my true friends were when they gave me their CC info so I "they" could order more
<< <i>Hey Mas......how's the quality? Any potential 70's?? >>
Most coins are fairly nice.... Looks like they were not handled with care
as the enhanced Kennedy's.... Many coins with contact marks...
MS67's for sure......
68's yes...
69's.... They should be there as well
70's.... I would not rule it out
