We can still find them pretty much everywhere on posts. My opinion is that this set will go up in price. Just as dialog_gvf said, just the penny with the dollar would soon sell for the whole set price and then probably much more

This set is still available for list price at Gatewest. That shows that there is not that much demand for it. It is highly doubtful it will go up much in price given demand = supply.

And list price sets feeding profitable cracking will use those sets up eventually. Then what?

^^^^ Feel free to buy all the 2012 proof sets you want from Gatewest, J&M Coins, And Talisman. Or local post offices. They are all selling at list or lower. Talisman has them for $219.99. OK, the number of pennies taken out of the sets and sold individually is pretty small if you look at ebay completed auctions. You may see one sold in one or two weeks. How many of the silver pennies sold in a year? Less than one hundred pennies sold from cracked sets compared to 20,000 sets minted. Plus you should realize that serious collectors who want this set already bought this set since it came out 9 months ago. Also, the casual coin collector have the 1/2 oz penny to choose from. Why pay more than $200 for this set when you could get the same penny only larger. Lastly there is always the next best thing. Collectors already have the Dino And Bug coins to look forward next year plus who knows what the Mint comes out with. By this time there will be the 2013 proof set out. |

Meeh, I saw a few of these sets in PO. I agree with what MoneyPenney said above.

gate west is the largest RCM dealer, if they dont raise prices shortly after releases you can be sure there is no big demand for this issue. just look at the farewell to penny set or the 5oz. penny they upped the price almost overnight. |

How did you get the discount? Was it advertised like that or did you get a staff discount?

My PO doesn't carry coins. The girl there doesn't like to deal with them. She will order me whatever I like though.

@ coin chick, I asked the nice lady working the counter if there was a discount on 2012 coins. She asked her boss and just like that, 15% off.
