Not to mention the difference between 69s and 70s is very minute. Personally, I'm happy with my sets in their OGP, sitting on a shelf and lined up in order. To each their own though - especially when it comes to coins!

I agree. Love my OGP sets.
I am not taking any chances on the LBJ. I will get in at noon just like the others.

I'm seriously considering returning my Kennedys and trying for new ones. The medals are lousy with spots.

With all the reported problems with JFK, maybe it will become a conditional rarity.

This was my first big thing I got from the mint,i didn't get into it make money,but to have something that many would want though the years.The mint mess that up by being greedy setting the limit up so high when they should have kept it at 17k.I'm so disappointed I hope they keep the the other to 25k or below.I just wanted a set or a single coin that will be very rare.That why I start buying after I read and seen some of the things you guys have,i guess it will take time,hope to have the money when the mint bring out a nice different coin,they can place a high limit that everyone will want.  All said I hope I can get the whole set. |

If flipping was easy everyone would do it. These little lessons get thrown out when things seem too easy.

You know if the mint gives me at least a good set with no problems then I'll be happy to have them. NOT trying to flip them or get RP70 but to just have at least a good one. THEN with my luck, I got two bad sets. One that's really bad with spots all over and the other not too good over the other. I still kept them both tho because I'm tired of returning things...

Hopefully the "failure" of the Kennedy set in barely retaining it's issue price on the secondary value will deter people from buying the LBJ set so I can get mine (or 2)
The 4 silver Kennedy set from last year is selling below issue price. the 2013 Eagle set is selling below issue price. Almost every commem dollar and half in the last 20 years is selling way below issue price.
As mentioned here or in another thread someone said something to the extent of "I want to own a low mintage or valuable coin for once in my life" and these reverse proof dollar coins offer todays collector an opportunity to do so.

I think now with the "currently unavailable" (assuming sellout), we may get a "better late than never" bounce for the flippers. (My strategy/hope with these sets have been to try and hope they appreciate enough where one pays for itself and the one going in the collection, or at least give a good subsidy.)

I sold my only Truman  , I of my Ikes, and was happy to unload 1 of my Kennedy sets in a group lot for $410 at our clubs show last weekend. I figure I did OK considering what I would have had to give to ebay and Paypal if I sold them there. I dumped one of my MOD sets for $75 since I was still sitting on 7 out of the 10 I ordered since they look like a bust in the current and near future I always bet on the wrong horse. If I would have bought 5 Trumans instead of MOD I would be rich. |

I never bet on anything, horses or otherwise.  I am surprised the MOD sets are not doing better. I guess there are enough RP and W dimes to go around. |

I still have my JFK sets, figure they won't go lower than the Mint's price (soon anyways) and hopefully they will go back up a little. I did sell my last Truman/Eisenhower for $360 so definitely happy about the price (3x purchase price) but wish I had kept my other Trumans until now. Sold most of them for $120 or less when they first came out. No worries though, instead completed my silver State Quarters, kept current with the lunar series/ATB silver quarters, and a very nice Capped Bust quarter for the 7070. Worth. |
