I believe anyone with any math capabilities knew or assumed the TOTAL mintage of the 2017-S would be right around what is is and the price has reflected that.
..and re: price of the congrats set...yes the 69's are available for a steal. I just bought four for $85 each BUT the set itself is near $140...makes no sense but I will take advantage . I have plenty of empty Congrat set packaging

What was the final mintage of the proof 2012-S ASE?

I thought it was up there, seeing that the price for these is not very high. I was thinking as a comparison, but with the mintage so high it cant be compared.

Yes.....2012-S Reverse proof coin only issued in the 2012 San Francisco Silver Eagle Set
FYI: 2012-S Proof mintage includes coins included in the 2012 San Francisco Silver Eagle Set and 2012 Making American History Coin and Currency Set. Total 281,792
"Bongo drive 1984 Lincoln that looks like old coin dug from ground."
What is the difference between MINTAGE LIMIT and PRODUCT LIMIT? The mint has no limit on the mintage for this set but a 50,000 product limit. Wouldn't the mintage also be limited to 50,000 sets? I have seen on some sets that the mintage level was set at VARIOUS. (Boy's Town 3 coin proof set earlier this year)

The product limit refers to the specific packaging. The mintage limit refers to the coins. In this case, you've got more than just the ASE and those have no mintage limit. They mint them until demand runs out or the year runs out.
If you have JUST silver eagles, the mintage limit can still exceed the product limit. For example, if you imagine this set and the Congrats set were ONLY eagles, then the mintage limit would be 125,000 and the product limit (this specific packaging) would be 50,000.
The Boys' Town set is probably "various" because of different limits for the different coins.

Right. Forgot about the C&C set. Still kept it in 2nd place (regular proof) even with the set...

Yes. Mint received all sorts of crap about it, since they didn't state it would be included in another set. This is why you find particular wording in descriptions now, like "only available in this set". And why the Mint made it clear when they released the Congrats set, that the 2017-S coin would be in the LESP set.
If I'm not mistaken, I saw this C&C set at a local shop. Planning to stop there next week will check there first. I'm old school, no e-bay, pay-pal etc...

Do we think this will sell out today? I am ready to buy got my account all signed in, credit card updated and ready to buy!
I am going to go out on a limb and say this sells out in 1 hour! Thats 25,000 purchases if every body buy 2. MCM if you want my purchase its $600.00 per set you know my account! Send me a text or email or call me. I will keep it secret!
I wonder after I buy 2 will they let me buy more? Maybe if they don't sell out.

Can't believe it- that was the smoothest trouble free transaction I've ever had...what happened? LOL! Got a product reminder for this set 5 minutes after I got the confirmation from my order

Huh. 12 minutes in, and they're still available.
I decided to pass. Hmmmm.....
Is "shill buying" a thing?
A few pre-sales have already sold on ebay.
Successful BST transactions with forum members thebigeng, SPalladino, Zoidmeister, coin22lover, coinsarefun, jwitten, CommemKing.
Now if I can just find me a PCGS 70 and a NGC 70 Set that would complete my collection for this series.
Placed 3 orders so far, and already have a commit to buy 2 of the orders. There were 10,444 orders placed between my first and last order (just now placed my last order at 12:26)
HH limits and the fact that the entire market is sleepwalking right now is slowing things.
That's all I can say for now.
I'll call BS on the guy that has a order placed before the order time frame.
