I see that there is a 2015 Limited Edition Silver Proof Set on the list. Are they just going to skip 2014?

First, all 4 presidents will be having a Coin & Currency set; Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson.  For the record, I really, really, really like the silver medal in the Theodore Roosevelt C&C set. So much that I will be getting this year's FDR set as well. We all know I am getting the Eisenhower set, no matter what is in it.  |

I thought maybe they would end the Kennedy at the 50th anniversary, but there's the 2015 right there on the list. The only guarantee for that set is it having the Kennedy Presidential dollar.  However, if they mint a 2015 half dollar, I would expect to see a proof (albeit clad) one in the set, just as the 2014 FDR set has the clad proof dime in it. |

You are right, It is a $1. I just saw Kennedy and assumed Half Dollar.

I was unaware the FDR set had not released yet. The fact that
I have read so many people are disappointed with the set, I
thought they already had them. I guess people are disappointed
in advance. I know what is in the set, and I wouldn't want it.
It might be slightly less disappointing if it had a silver coin,
instead of a medal. I collect coins, not medals. No interest.
The stamps are worth nil. Pull them out of the set and ADD some
more stamps to them and mail one letter.

The FDR Set's silver medal is at least unique to the FDR C&C set, but that set was just begging for a 2014-W Dime (in any finish). I love the Theodore Roosevelt silver medal, and he is way overdue for a commemorative gold coin (after all, he commissioned Augustus St. Gaudens!). I'd suggest an Ultra High-Relief $50 with Theodore on the front, a no-motto St. Gaudens Eagle reverse, "In God We Trust" on the edge.  |

I'm very glad that there will be a 2015 Limited Edition Silver Proof Set!! I thought it was a little odd that the two sets were released in the following year. Maybe this is a 'catch-up' and will make the series more popular. I'm also hopeful that they resolve some of the quality issues. Let's face it, the 2013 sets were a beautiful set of coins, well arranged, but packaged in a very low quality case. I sure hope the people at the Mint fix that... thankfully, my fellow collectors on this site had the fix. Taking the cover off the set and rotating it saved me the trouble and aggravation of sending my sets back to the mint. Thanks again guys!

As long as they struck the coins this year, they could still wait until next year to offer a 2014 Limited Edition Silver Proof set.

I don't believe they can offer a new 2014 set in 2015. They can sell an existing set forever but it has to be put up for sale in the year of striking. They did that with one of the 2 coin ASE sets. Sold it in November and announced that it would not ship until March of the next year. I have never seen a previous year dated coin start sales in a different year.... ...and it's not on the upcoming products list for 2015. I guess they could announce and start sales next week but that chance is slim. |

I hope they come through with the LE 2014 Ag set before year's end but my wallet won't complain if they don't.

Jan. will be busy month. The proof ASE and all the U.S. Marshals sets and coins being released. About the LE sets, I got my 2013 set from the mint in 2014. I think it wasn't actually released until then. I'm guessing the same about the 2014 set as well. It's still listed on the schedule and I'm keeping my fingers crossed. But, who knows? |

Ordered my 2015 ASE proof on Friday, the 2nd - 1st time I've seen it issued so early in the year.
