Not if the offending additional set is announced more than 7 days after you get your coins...
Even if they do make a RP set it will most likely have a different MM and maybe a higher mintage solidifying these sets as THE sets....might actually be a positive event

Raw sets are now fetching $200 and graded 69 sets are only a few bucks higher. Many of the graded sets are being offered along with the original packaging, so these sets could always be returned to "intact" status if market conditions warrant.

But! that is a big but if the box is sealed you may rec a bigger price for it maybe.
I sold mine to them also. Man did I get killed on that deal. Win some, loose some. MCM is a fantastic company to deal with. I just too the risk here and lost - totally on me.
At least I have the 5 sealed sets which my father ordered. I know that I should sell them now as I think that the price has topped out, but I'll hold for a while and may just keep them permanently.
"In just 15 minutes, the U.S. Mint reported it had sold out of the Harry S. Truman Coin and Chronicles set on June 30, despite the Mint’s 5-sets-per-household order limit.
The Truman Coin and Chronicles set contains a reverse proof Truman Presidential dollar and silver Presidential medal.
The set had a product limit of 17,000. It contains the first ever reverse proof Presidential dollar, a 2015-P, a Truman Presidential medal and a 1973 8-cent Truman stamp.
The high appeal of the set was conferred by the reverse proof dollar in it, which is the 10th reverse proof U.S. coin ever produced and first in the Presidential dollar series.
Price of the set was $57.95.
The Mint was caught unawares by the quick sellout. On the day afterwards, it issued a statement explaining how it arrived at a 17,000 maximum mintage.
It said that the prior offer for Franklin D. Roosevelt had not even reached sales of 14,000 in six months.
But the Roosevelt set didn’t have a reverse proof dollar in it. That made all the difference.
So, per the above, the 17K limit would not seem to be statutory.
What absolutely boggles the mind is HOW could The Mint be "caught off guard" by the sell out citing sales of the FDR which did not have an RP. As so many have mentioned, if they simply monitored this forum they would learn so much.
Further, if the 17K was based on the FDR and now they see what the demand was for the Truman WHY in world would they not substantially raise the limit for the Eisenhower set w/its RP?? This just makes no sense. This of course assumes that, like the Truman, the Eisenhower has a total RP limit of 17K not just a set limit of 17K as some have speculated based on the wording of the Mint's statements.
<< <i>On May 3, 2015, CoinWeek received word that the Lakewood Ranch, Florida-based company ModernCoinMart was to be sold to Asset Marketing Services, LLC. If true, the sale would make ModernCoinMart the fourth major numismatic-related business for Asset Marketing Services, which also operates GovMint.com, First Federal Coin, and New York Mint. >>
<< <i>A request for confirmation of the sale by ModernCoinMart came in an email on May 8, 2015 from MCM General Manager Andrew Salzberg, who wrote: ModernCoinMart was acquired on May 4 by Asset Marketing Services. They saw MCM as a complementary addition to the AMS family of companies, recognized the strength of MCM’s e-commerce capabilities and rich history in modern coins and precious metals, and saw an opportunity to invest in MCM’s continued growth. >>
Wasnt MCM recently sold to a bigger coin firm known for overpriced coins in big glossy magazines??? >>
It was. Having spoken to several MCM employees since the sale, as well as having bought from and sold to them since the sale. they have assured me that MCM will remain as it was prior to the sale w/respect to pricing and policies. This has indeed been my experience thus far. I very much hope that this remains the case. I am watching closely.
The set had a product limit of 17,000. It contains the first ever reverse proof Presidential dollar, a 2015-P, a Truman Presidential medal and a 1973 8-cent Truman stamp.
Price of the set was $57.95. >>
The Truman stamp was 8 cents. The Eisenhower stamp is only 6 cents.
Therefore, I think the price of the Eisenhower set should be reduced by 2 cents to $57.93.

I am only guessing:
The US Mint could not (did not want to) increase the Eisenhower set 17K limit because of the logistics of obtaining OGP, silver medals, stamps and assembling them in the short time between the Truman and Eisenhower sales. They decided instead to reduce the household limit from 5 to 2 sets.
As some have speculated because of the omission of the wording (only in this set) for the Eisenhower set, there may be additional Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson RPs available in a to-be-announced RP dollar set later this year. A question about the Truman RP (a different mintmark?). With the announcement (but no details) on the new Native American Set on 8/24, the speculation only grows.
The set had a product limit of 17,000. It contains the first ever reverse proof Presidential dollar, a 2015-P, a Truman Presidential medal and a 1973 8-cent Truman stamp.

Truly amazing. It's just not that complicated. How can they not get this stuff.
Also, as I said, given the 15 minute sell out of the Truman set why are they not increasing the mintage of the Eisenhower sets?? Perhaps its as ebizgobro speculates. Still, their job is to sell coins, they said that they base mintages on prior sales and they would seem to have time to increase the mintage.
As usual the PCGS 70 population which seemed very rare at only 3 has now increased tenfold to 30 and keeps growing. Tilltheeyefallsout probably should have accepted one of his earlier offers. His eyes will fall out when he sees how far prices have dropped since the first known price of $ 3,600. I would guess when the NGC 70 population comes out it will be in the hundreds.
EDITED TO SAY: Looks like he changed the ebay sale from BIN $ 25,000 to BIN $ 2,095 and the first one sold for $ 4,500.
" If you push something hard enough, it will fall over. " The 1st Law of Opposition from The Firesign Theater
As I think about it, the wording "found only in this set!" is kind of.... non binding. It could be rationalized to mean.... found only in this set (the only way to get it right now!). That does not say absolutely that there will not be other chances later. Since there is/was no mintage limit specified, I could see some rational to include the Truman RP at a later date in a 4 coin set with the others. Sneaky? yeh. But that door is cracked open just a little...
Maybe it is just the way I am searching on eBay but it seems the number of sealed sets of 5 has dropped drastically. Qualifier - I am only looking at BIN offerings.

If that's the case, they should reduce the price of both sets by a quarter.
<< <i>Maybe it is just the way I am searching on eBay but it seems the number of sealed sets of 5 has dropped drastically. Qualifier - I am only looking at BIN offerings. >>
could be, but the auctions for one set continues to climb...now in the $190+ range.

What is interesting is most of those sets have been opened. They are not sealed. I do see in that list on box of 5 sealed going for $990.00. ($198 each)
<< <i>These are going to keep going up as there just are not enough of them to go around. >>
That would seem to be the case. But I also wonder if the demand is just between flippers and speculators.... rather than the retail collectors. If so, it is kind of like a game of musical chairs. Who will be left holding the bag when the music stops?

I only have 5 of the truman sets and only plan on 4 of the eisenhower's so that is not much invested when I am selling the 09 error coins for big money now that the CPG is coming out.
I don't think there will be a shortage of First Strikes for this issue. The bigger advantage of sealed sets is that they haven't been picked over for possible (and elusive) PR70's.

When I saw that they changed the BIN from $25,000 to $2,095, I noticed the first sale being reported at $4,500 and also noticed it was within the 14 day no questions asked return rights on the sale. My guess if I was the seller, there would have about a 99.99% chance the buyer would have asked me to reprice his purchased set to $2,095!!

PS. I believe I am the cheapest BIN on ebay at $1,795 now and I am getting no offers (yet) at that level.

Late to the ball game with this one...Don't hold your breath hoping for your price. You might get a nibble at $1,300 & if you do, take it.
"Bongo drive 1984 Lincoln that looks like old coin dug from ground."
Not a bad return for $56 bucks or even $130 + grading if you where lucky to buy them before they went up in price. Good job guy's, I'm keeping them in the box till I get ready to send them in I have time to hold.
There is no profit in these for 69 graded sets at that level, however, two to three buyers keep pushing these sets much higher.
Even with the increase in graded 70's; not enough to warrant the sealed box prices north of $1100. (your odds of making 70's is diluted by the amount of 69's you'll receive)
Some other motivation......is someone building a position in these.....will we be looking at a $500 coin in the near future?
I would sell any sets now in sealed boxes, I don't think these prices can be sustained. These are selling like the first Presidential dollar error pricing and that collapsed like a deck of cards. 17,000 may not sound like much but when prices are for hundreds of dollars it is. Does anyone here think these go for $300 plus per coin raw?
PS Reverse proof dimes go graded in 69 for less than the set cost from the mint. Those coins are DOA already.

Tilltheeyefallsout probably should have accepted one of his earlier offers. His eyes will fall out when he sees how far prices
have dropped since the first known price of $ 3,600. I would guess when the NGC 70 population comes out it will be in the hundreds.
EDITED TO SAY: Looks like he changed the ebay sale from BIN $ 25,000 to BIN $ 2,095 and the first one sold for $ 4,500"
When I saw that they changed the BIN from $25,000 to $2,095, I noticed the first sale being reported at $4,500 and also noticed it was within the 14 day no questions asked return rights on the sale. My guess if I was the seller, there would have about a 99.99% chance the buyer would have asked me to reprice his purchased set to $2,095!!

PS. I believe I am the cheapest BIN on ebay at $1,795 now and I am getting no offers (yet) at that level.
Looks like two sold for $ 1,249.95. Just shows Truman coin and not graded medal. Don't know if it includes OGP
17,000 and only a few will be graded.
But they are proof flavored
These should have the usual ratio
The medals are a different story
I do note, however, my batch were much better in the no contact mark department than usual medals.

Late to the ball game with this one...Don't hold your breath hoping for your price. You might get a nibble at $1,300 & if you do, take it.
Hoard the keys.
<< <i> You might get a nibble at $1,300 & if you do, take it. >>
They are taking the worm at a tad over $1400..last two PCGS sets sold yesterday for $1414 and $1630...NGC sets are going for $1325 and $1388
These are sets...both coins graded
set with stamp
Box of 20
<< <i>That is why mine are still sealed, I don't need to look at them. >>
What has coin collecting come to?
<< <i>Overall there are not really that many sets on ebay. Also there is a the slabbed stamp from the chronicles set.

I like it.

Sealed boxes have an air of mystery about them. There's always the tantalizing possibility that every coin in the box will grade 70.

Or they may be completely empty.

...and eventually sell that sealed box on Ebay
Probably get good feedback though
There is no profit in these for 69 graded sets at that level, however, two to three buyers keep pushing these sets much higher.
Even with the increase in graded 70's; not enough to warrant the sealed box prices north of $1100. (your odds of making 70's is diluted by the amount of 69's you'll receive)
Some other motivation......is someone building a position in these.....will we be looking at a $500 coin in the near future?
PS Reverse proof dimes go graded in 69 for less than the set cost from the mint. Those coins are DOA already.
<< <i>I would sell any sets now in sealed boxes, I don't think these prices can be sustained. These are selling like the first Presidential dollar error pricing and that collapsed like a deck of cards. 17,000 may not sound like much but when prices are for hundreds of dollars it is. Does anyone here think these go for $300 plus per coin raw?

For some reason it seams that dimes are usually treated like ugly step children with a few exceptions. Maybe cuz they are so small.

So size DOES matter
edited to add: raw set just went for $225 including shipping
