  Why do you think the prices will go up fast?

  I dont know how much, but recent sales on Ebay are already up $4-$8 over issue, and that was before a sale out. I recently sold 5 sets for $25 per set. Just a gut feeling, but I know how that goes also.

  I ordered 2 different groups over the summer (since I was unpleasantly surprised by some poor pieces last year, I figured that I would get 2 different batches).
  One batch was terrible. The lincolns were so spotted and ugly and coins were scratched that I sent them back.
  
  Then, I received, after a few months, replacements.
  Again, very poor quality (I wasn't expecting MS70 but I wasn't willing to take MS60 either), so off went the bad ones.
  
  Saturday, got the final replacements to the replacements to the replacements (yes, went back 3 times total). These all look AWESOME.
  So, now with all the send backs, I think I ended up with a couple extra.....nice to hear they may go up

  I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  Well they have a good chance. This is the only year for these nickels and the first year of the "Satin strike" coins in the mint set.

  I was at a small regional show this weekend and the sets were already trading at a slight premium.
  
  I have a feeling these sets will be hot sellers, since the obverse is going away.
  
  Edit: I make a point to spend the Bison business strike issues; today after paying for my dry cleaning, I noticed one of the employees (a non-collector) racing over to the register to purchase my change... It says something when a non-collector sees value in a circulated coin.

  I ordered a few extra sets last week....it still says "backordered" so i'm keeping my fingers crossed. If I get them Ill be happy, since I think these will go up a bit. if I don't then it wasnt meant to be. I also noticed the shipping date on 2005 Clad Proof sets is into december.....perhaps these will sell out soon as well.

  When does the mint start producing and make available it's production? Is it scattered during the year, or are you pretty much sure that everything starts in Q1?
