If you find two of the 2007 set, let me know, only about 849 issued.

I picked one up in September at a coin shop for $75. I wanted the loon, so I cracked apart the set. Now 848 remain...

Did the mint only issue the silver loonie in the 2007 & 2008 wedding sets?

@barriecarcon, I don't think it's only in the wedding set. I believe they also have the baby keepsake set. It's the wedding set that's in super low mintage. The silver dollar itself, I believe it's close to about 3,000 for 2008. Not sure about 2007.

For the baby sets w/ special loonies there is the 2006 with the Teddy Bear Moon, the 2007 with baby rattle, the 2007 with baby rattle with gold highlighting, the 2007 baby keepsake set with ABC blocks, and the 2008 silver loon. So in 2007, the silver loonie is only in the Wedding Set. In 2008 it's in both the Wedding Set and the Baby Set.

p.s. My wife goes gooey for all the coins in the 25c wedding series so I figure that at $10-$20 each, if it makes her more interested/tolerant of my coin collecting it's a good investment! Ditto for the baby series. |

What the heck was happening in 2007? A bunch of offerings had very low mintages for some reason. |

@dialog_gvf, I genuinely believe that it was a refection of the financial crisis at the time.

The financial crisis would be an explanation for a slowing in late 2008. But, it didn't travel back in time and stop people buying something in 2007.

just happens to be an unpopular year I guess for buying coins. Maybe too many varieties contributed to each variety to not sell very well as well

Have you seen the delivery times for mint products lately? Maybe the orders that were made in 2007 were cancelled in late 2008 because they still hadn't shown up!  |

Just bought a 2007 wedding comm. set at a flea market for $10.00. Family wedding coming up. Would it be a good gift for the shower, or seem, "cheap?' If cheap-- I'll keep it my ownself!

@Saint_Ninian, wonderful! You might consider flipping it and buy one of those koi fish coin, you will end up with chump change in your pocket and as a present, the fish looks way better. Unless, of course, the couple understands how lucky they're to have the wedding set. My 2 cents.
Looks like I mistaken the 2007 for the expensive 2008. My bad! I apologize.
