The US Mint needs to close shop and sub out the Mintage Operations to the British Royal Mint. I'm sure the Brits could use the additional business and we could use the Quality Products.

I have 30 sets. It may be nice to grab a few more.
Again, I think these will be $50 set by next year.
Low mintage coins with a hybrid finish.
I drank to much coffee this morning.

ZERO chance Mint sells less than quality sets to the public..
it's going to take awhile for the prices to go up after unavailable. a few sellers have closer to a thousand sets and selling in the 36 area. once the quantity gets bought watch out
Well, no sets became available this morning at 7:30, and they're still unavailable, so I guess that's a good thing...
My last strike sets finally shipped yesterday. Interestingly, there's a map on my FedEx tracking page, showing the destination, and where the package is now. It'll be interesting to see how often the map gets updated. (I doubt it's real time, but it'll be interesting to find out...)
I don't know ... call me crazy ... but knowing the mint is sold out kinda makes me want to buy one even more ... now that I know I can't get one from the mint.
I'm going to guess below 198,000
but
that's because I think they sold most or all of the 225,000 and the mint is still confused, will remain confused until the audit, then the numispress will get wind of the change the same way we do, and finally we'll all know at the same time through the same method.

UPS has a truck tracker which is absolutely real time - in case you want to rob the truck. I could watch the package all the way to my door. I saw the truck on my street and 15 seconds later the doorbell rang.
Kind of fun. Especially if you have other things to do and want to know how long you have.
UPS truck tracking is not available for all service levels. Only for the top fastest levels. I wish it was available...for FedX too. I guess they want it as a reason to purchase their more expensive service. But UPS, and FedX, know where all their trucks are at all times. They just aren't telling you unless you pay. "Between Noon and 5:30" will have to suffice for us unwashed masses.

I imagine some sellers will pull inventory with the development and see what happens.
1,140 sets for 57,000, 2 lots of 1,140 available. anybody have 57 laying around?

must have some spare room in the house
I wonder if this guy is married?

he does hove plenty of sealed boxes

read his auction, claims they sold out in 7 minutes, he got the big bulk discount
It says "Make Offer" so offer $10 a set. Says "2 Available" so he has 2280 sets total.
Wonder if he'd take $100 for that monster box.
Don't quote me on that.
Mint has more 225th sets may become available.. even listing the remind button.. don't think that part was there Saturday
I think I saw it on Saturday.
The prices these went for on Ebay over the weekend are pretty ugly. A graded 70 quarter set closed at $42.
HSN is still hawking these ANACS 70 sets for $349. Hyped hard as I channel surfed.
I just put a offer in for $500.000.00 Maybe he will take it?
I can only afford a $100 offer...the price of Divorce....still worth it
Don't quote me on that.
Prices of raw sets are fairly firm at around $35. Price-wise, I consider them better values than graded sets at the moment.
When will we see the new Mint numbers for this set? Tomorrow?

Don't quote me on that.
I still luv'em no matter what....

Insert witicism here. [ xxx ]
I'll guess 198,895
I'm going to guess below 198,000

I'm going to guess 202k and it's sold out.
Don't quote me on that.
I hoping for 197,607 or less. That would bring the Kennedy below the anniversary clad sets...

I'll beat this dead horse just this one time.
if they had the ability to sell 25k-30k more sets, then they'd be on backorder already.
I am calling "counting screw up -- sold out" (or within a grand or so for returns)
PS I didn't see any returns show up this a.m.
What's the URL for the new numbers.
anyone else with a guess the number entry?
winner will receive immediate confusion.
