shipping cost of this set also depends on distance the package has to travel. example, if you ship this set to New York and you live in California, the first class rate will be at least 4 dollars
Long term I think these sets are winners whether the final mintage is 195,000 or 225,000. We're talking only a 15% difference here.
I can recall people complaining about the 1995-W Silver Eagle during the year of issue, while it was still available from the Mint. Single "bonus" silver coins removed from the Gold Eagle proof set were fetching about $250 each on the secondary market, and many collectors were complaining that the price was too high for a 45,000-mintage "gimmick" coin. After being available from the Mint for months, the set failed to sell out. Final mintage turned out to be just over 30K, and the $250 price turned out to be a bargain for those who bought and held.
Just regarding the 2017-S Lincoln cent alone, we're talking less than half the mintage of the 1909-S VDB. And likely many more people collect modern Lincolns than wheat Lincolns. I can't imagine that the 2017-S will still be available at a single-digit price a few years from now.

Do you think the price will be $30 or less two years from now?
I think BestDay has been consistent on this. He thinks it's going down. Of course, he just bought 3 sets himself...
LOL...2 for Christmas gifts...,but... look at the past for a guide into future.......
2006 Gold Anniv sets got premiums ,even before sets came out.. still at premiums to Mint price ,,gold spot
2006 Silver Anniv set came out at premium to Mint price , still way above Mint price... 2x Mint price
2011 Silver Anniv set came out with price premiums to Mint price and still there...2x-3x
The 2015,16 circa President's Coin &Chronicle sets came out with huge premiums to Mint price .. some still at premiums to Mint price.. Low mintage sets.. 2x
One forum member here ,even was selling 1,000 C&C sets on BST, on what was originally a 2 set per household limit.
The 2017 225th enhanced sets ??.. large specs.... 100+/more sets.. are an overhand lid on prices.
One at least holding 2000+ sets..
Future ?? Mint sell out 1st .. set will lose interest as time inches forward,,,,,,Mint comes out with new products
Hard to judge the trajectory of anything based on current demand. A lot of new stuff is down - passed up 2 1999 silver sets a couple days ago at $45 each and those have been $100 sets for years.
Also, Truman C&C will still sell 4x issue price easy. Eisenhower slowly inching up from around 2x issue also. I'd say these are holding value fairly well for a series that a lot of people despise.

Postal zones are distance based; meaning zones are determined by the distance your shipment needs to travel between origin and destination. Distances are further divided into zones on the shipping zones map. There are eight USPS zones for domestic shipments. Unless you’re using a flat rate box or flat rate envelope to ship your goods, the cost of postage will depend on how close the origin and destination zones are.

This is absolutely incorrect information. Priority and First Class do not change with distance. You must be thinking of UPS or FedEx.

I seem to have more "milk spot" problems with PCGS. Put away 10 of the 2006 2 coin set of the Proof PCGS69's and they all developed the spots. NGC coins that were put away(a safe) did not develop the spots. PCGS used to pay you money back if they develop these spots; now charge to try to remove them.
Is the PCGS milk spot problem appearing on non-silver coins? I thought it was a PCGS/silver problem.
the 2006 coins were from the 2 coin silver set(one proof and one reverse proof)
Was also stating that PCGS is sometimes over rated because their coins seem to get these spots more than NGC. Seems the spots are almost on the same place on each coin-maybe a problem how they seal the coins; or something wrong in PCGS's process. Bought 10 of the proofs-put them away; and they all developed the ugly spots. Made them just spot price material.
At this point I'm wondering if everything "unavailable " or "sold-out" will ever dissapear? It's like the Mint has adopted ( or invented? ) a new Marketing tactic.
one subject that hasn't been brought up is how this set would hold up in a recession. it is possible that this set could be still for sale in the next recession, some experts believe the stock market will drop to 14,000 within the next 6 months which would bring on the next recession. I do know it was extremely hard to sell anything in the 2009- 2010 period
I think a 40% drop in the stock market, and the factors that would MAKE it drop 40%, and the ensuing issues, the ability to resell a $35 set and not go belly up would not even make anyone's radar.

Got my 3 sets yesterday .. perfect quality .. not rejects .. nice coins
then there are PP fees
what about for those that do not have a store and get no bulk discount from the mint ?
they lose money at that price....
Don't quote me on that.
Posts thinning out .. Mint sticks it twice with supposed sell outs
there were actually 3 sell outs
Waiting for the "available set" numbers and THEN the whining will start
We may not even get a number if it's over 10,000....
Don't quote me on that.
these might be available on the web sight for Christmas

This set became unavailable 4 times. (See post 2.)
This. People were excited really interested in this set before they even went on sale.
At least we won't have to hear people whine about not being able to get one...

Any word on how many sets are available?
where is numerler ?
the 2006 coins were from the 2 coin silver set(one proof and one reverse proof)
Was also stating that PCGS is sometimes over rated because their coins seem to get these spots more than NGC. Seems the spots are almost on the same place on each coin-maybe a problem how they seal the coins; or something wrong in PCGS's process.

My (almost) last strike sets arrived, in a munged up box, so I had to open it up to make sure the sets inside were okay.
They were both perfect, and obviously new. No scratches, dust or mars on the outer boxes, COA or lenses.
I'm just sad more sets went on sale.

Ill post on this thread to get it close to 2k posts
I opened my three sets once, liked what I saw, and have not looked at them since. My exposure is low, and so is my interest in the current value.
Someone let me know when they sell out
