Honestly, I'm happy that they are still available from the US Mint.
When they do finally sell out, and they will, the regular collector would have had ample time to acquire a set(s) for their collection. I have 3 sets, more than enough for me.
I also purchased a Quarter set from a forum member for a Album I'm building.
My opinion; it will take several years for this set to come into it's own, price wise.
Also, my feeling the sets in OGP will be far less available and more desirable.

Well tomorrow a new issue will blast this set far from being the topic of concern. Those Palladium Eagles are all set to launch. Anyone got orders in for MS70 Mostest Most Valuable Labels ?
Bullion isn't worth owning unless its perfect - don't you know?

Seems not only have the sales cooled down, but so has this thread.
It was pushed to page 2 before this posting.
Again, I'm in for 50 sets.
I think they WILL be worth about $50 - $75 in the next 2 years.
Well, that's my 2 cents.

That's pretty optimistic imho. I think they continue to drift south of issue price and end up a $15 set eventually. I have 10 sets left myself and figure it's a tuition payment! I'm glad I didn't buy more at the ANA show because I thought about it!!
if it wasn't for that 20,000 set order that got returned or canceled, this would be a 40 to 45 dollar set today. they would of never got all those returns afterwards also. in reality- one person or company is responsible for the collapse of this set

You're right, but its the U.S. Mint that's responsible and it's all part of the gamble in flipping their products. Sometimes it helps, and sometimes it hurts.

Come on folks ,need to pack it up ...someone else's fault... the Mint's fault..... thread dying ,like interest in set.
25,000 sets left to sell.... no one to blame except not enough buyers ..... time move on to the next hot product coming, from the Mint

By the way, I was at the local coin club last night. I was surprised by how many people hadn't heard of this set.
Much of the future demand will be from collectors who have not yet heard of this set. As it becomes more widely known I think it will become more popular.

No one is stopping you from moving on.
I just marvel how human emotions don't change ..whether it is $30 dollars or $25,000

Really? You think if this set had stayed sold out in 6 minutes - which is what happened that 1st day - that this set would not have behaved far differently over the last month? It might not change things 5 years from now (whichever way that breaks) but you'd have to be either willfully blind or genetically obtuse to think that a 6 minute sell out wouldn't have created a flurry of activity in the secondary market.
These sets were selling for as much as $80 each on Day 2 before the waves of cancellations/returns all of which were triggered by the reappearance of 20,000 sets on the market.
See.. just more hope and wishful thinking..
My local coin show ,a dealer stocked several sets on his table... none sold with zero questions, interest ... the dealer even offered to sell the sets he had on the table for 30 bucks , if all were purchased
The time for the Mint marketing the set, was weeks before issue
If you compare this set, having a uniquely-new finish variety as the main attraction (with it's peripheral impact as a low mintage Lincoln, as if that matters), the closest comparisons would be to the 2009 copper Lincolns, or to the Reverse Proof Prez Dollars - neither of which has become a hot item, particularly.
That being the case, the Mint continues to poison the well with more and more varieties that nobody's ever heard of, until they finally do at a meeting of coin clubs with ever-shrinking membership roles.
But..............if you enjoy coins, it's a pretty cool set.

2009 copper Lincoln’s were’t a different finish - they’re a different composition - can’t even tell them apart from business strike except they’re a little more yellow and less red.
Also the Truman reverse proof sells 4-5x release easy, Eisenhower sells 2x release, 2014 Native American CC sells 2x release. And those are single coins in arguably less popular series.
Instead, it looks like the mint went back and struck 30K more sets. (That's my assumption. No official word yet.)
Imagine what the mint would have to do to strike more 10 coin sets. Are there good enough die's to strike the new sets? How many new ones are required to make it worth while? New sets only to replace damaged ones? Stay under 225,000 authorized sets. Labor and machine time to strike these new sets. Don't forget ordering more packaging and that cost.
Odds are they are not making any more of these sets. The final numbers will account for returns not resold and will be something under 225k.

It's less complicated than you might think.
They do the same process all year for proof and silver proof sets. The robotics that do the proof/silver proof sets can also do the EU sets. They're no different. Same size blanks, same lenses, same size boxes, same size CoA's.
Considering there's more than 10K EU sets available, I think SF went back to the presses.

Bullion isn't worth owning unless its perfect - don't you know?
only if it's one of the firstest mostest most valuable
If next year there is the $*^ anniversary set in EU, with a mintage of 167,000, the price of these, like so many others from the mint,
Well,
As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.
Turkeys can fly.
Sorry, I was away for the Rosh Hashana Holiday.
There are over 9,999 as of a few minutes ago.

Where do you get the palladium coin?
it's too bad they made so many, anyone who wants a set probably already has one
The below linked thread will answer all your questions..

On Pre-sale @ Provident and other places
That means .. full mintage 225 ,000 ..... 25,000 sets still available for sale
Someone needs to play Taps for this coin set.
I just finished with "So What" on my horn.
New numbers.
wow, these sets might be available until April of 2018 or longer if sales drop off even more
That would be great, think I'm going to purchase another...

You are forgetting the sets were unavailable for 4 of the 7 days in this reporting period.
Only 25,000 sets to go till a sellout
Wow, just think, I can buy them by the roll now.
30,000

I knew it would happen.
Well this is how this issue could have ended:
Platinum Proof sells out over 10% under mintage

2009 copper Lincoln’s were’t a different finish - they’re a different composition - can’t even tell them apart from business strike except they’re a little more yellow and less red.

I don't think you can compare melting 99.95% platinum coins to these sets.
FACT: 225,000 - about 195,000 = about 30,000
the post count is lower because we were all watching for a sell out.
now that is a ways off.
Does the Mint ever say what the remaining inventory is....other than (Mintage - sold) that we calculate when they release the numbers?
