Last years 225th Anniversary Enhanced Uncirculated Coin Set selling from the Mint Sold Out @ $ 29.95

Get ready Get ready available on Ebay ALL DAY LONG @ $ 34.00

Be careful that was 225,000 made this is almost at 200,000 whats the difference 25K less. But this is rarer right? I know I know this is apples to oranges I am just saying!

Actually, finally mintage numbers on the EU set were a little under 215,000

Well, that was fun! Haven't done that in a while!

1st order: USM058709xx
2nd order: USM058719xx

I understand that those are order ID's, but why are people censoring them / do they have any significance? Early mintage?

Aprox 6,000 in the first 8 minutes.

Orders that is not sets

Figure average of maybe 5 sets...long way to go.

I don't think it's as easy to return sets now, the mint has new rules

True, but the Mint has the same problem we eBay sellers have: it's really easy to file a CC chargeback claiming some kind of "damage". And, of course, you recall all the EU sets returned for the imaginary oil spot on the packaging.

Wait till the Big Boys come in tomorrow give it 2 weeks then the returns another week maybe 3 days how do I know?

Big boys can buy at a discount tomorrow. They will probably sell it out. BUT, the real question is how long it takes the distribution to sort itself out.

I'm skeptical about this set holding the $55 value long term. But I would be willing to bet it sells out by noon tomorrow.

If they are true to recent practice shipping should start tomorrow.

Apmex has them now for $65. FYI.

I bet these have "oil" spots too...

And if they don't people can always just tear the box and claim it arrived that way.

if they pack these sets the same way they packed the EU sets, there will be some damaged boxes

10 new reverse coins and dies, figure there might be a small chance for an error coin in the mix.

were there any on the EU sets?

We need @nurmaler or someone who can maybe see # available. Although I don't think the bulk buyers can buy yet

I heard they "accidentally" minted 5 pennies on the silver dime planchet to boost sales.....good luck to whomever finds one....

I can't see. It auto changes qty to 10. I'll check and update tomorrow at 12pm

Thanks!

Same as MCM...."loss leaders" ..... Smart move for both. Inexpensive way to obtain new customer.

I bought 4 sets. We'll see what happens down the road. Maybe these will perform like the 2017 Congratulations Silver Eagle?

It's not a loss leader at that number, especially if they get their supply at the discount from a bulk purchaser.

Even for me, if I sold a set at $65 with free shipping: $65 - $5.78 eBay/PayPal - $2.66 shipping = $56.56

And Apmex or MCM get preferred rates from eBay, possibly PayPal, anad probably their shipper as well.
