Forget the coin and currency sets. These 2014 spouse medal sets are going for crazy money!
The issue price from the Mint was $16.95 and recent ended sales on ebay show that these are consistently selling for over $200. Are these prices for real?!
Here are a few that recently sold.
In doing some research here, it seems that these sold out after only a month. A reported mintage of the mint issued set at 7500. Funny, considering the 2011 and 2012 bronze spouse sets are still available.

Edited to add: The 2013 5-medal sets are sold out also and fetching close to $100 per set.

After the series ends, I think collector interest may also wane. The Jefferson and Washington Spouse Medal Sets were fetching $100 a few years back but dropped considerably since then. I suspect the same will happen for the 2014s.
A few die hard spouse medal collectors are driving up the prices now and the fact that only a few are being offered on ebay. I think the dealers missed this one and most of the sets could be in collector hands already. But who knows.
2015 and 2016(last year of the series) should be interesting.

Just got lucky. I never sell anything though so no advantage to me , really. Still, it's an interesting tidbit.
