I have just spoken with the US mint marketing division and suggested to them that they refund $110 to the purchasers of this set.
I would suggest any purchasers of this set to contact the USM on their toll free # or by mail and echo that suggestion.
I would be interested in any responses that you receive.

I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

Excellent call!!! I would keep my 10 sets if they did that. Otherwise, they are going right back!
I'm calling right now.

I told them I'd be sending my 10 sets back along with 4-5 other folks I encouraged to buy these.

I'm sure the $110.00 per set could buy at least 2 tanks of gas, or, dare I say it, more eagles.
Q: Will the mood of the people affect the price of gold in the future ?
ESPECIALLY THIS YEAR'S offerings... barring a stampede

The funny thing is a few years back, when the Platinum coin series started, I had ordered several of the four-coin sets, which ultimately sold out.
I then had to plead with the Mint to send me the same coins, at the same price, individually packaged. This involved several phone calls and a couple of letters. Ultimately, so as not to lose a $25,000 sale, the Mint agreed.
Funny, how the 2-coin set is now consodered a "premium" product over the 2 individually packaged coins?!? That makes no sense.
The packaging is worth $2-$10, imho.
I think some greedy marketing person at the mint was especially stupid in this case and I hope that they get a poor review over it.
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

Seen this morning on the mint's website for 2 piece orders:
Orders have been taken that meet the maximum mintage level of 20,000 for the American Eagle 20th Anniversary Gold and Silver Coin Set. We will continue to accept orders in the event cancellations occur. Orders accepted after sell-out are considered “next in line,” and will be processed on a first-come, first-serve basis against any remaining inventory that may become available. The United States Mint CANNOT provide information on specific customer placement status either online or by telephone. If paying by credit card, please be sure the expiration date is not before December 31, 2006. If we are not able to fulfill your order, you will be notified that your order was cancelled. If you paid by check, you will receive a refund. As with all of our products, the United States Mint reserves the right to accept or reject orders in any combination or options it determines to be in its best interest.
Why they couldn't have done this for the AGE is beyond me.
