But in 2020 when the mint, with no explanation, literally doubled the price of silver proof sets and proof ASEs, I cancelled my subscriptions seeing it as only greed and price gouging. I fear with the price of silver going up they will jack up the prices again next year. It's a hard push to buy the silver proof set at $150 already  |

I'm excited yet also scared with next year's designs. I just hope they don't go crazy with different finishes. ie Reverse proof, enhanced finishes and now laser privy's. I know some like that but it does add to the cost of just trying to keep up.

The two three-coin sets from 1976 already seem quaint, but why offer one when you can do eight for eight times the price.  |

I was able to get one of the silver proof sets before they were pulled. The nickel in my set has a very minor mark and I was hoping to reorder and return it. It isn't looking good for that. While the price is a bit of a hit I plan on ordering the LE set. I prefer to get direct from the mint and with a what is going on with silver, Kennedy half dollars, and the S mint ASE it is, for me, the best plan and a no brainer. I am considering selling the ASE as I already have the S mint. |

One seller had a lot of 100 for sale last week. I've had a remind me text and email in for this set since late August at the Mint. |

Ordered 5 regular proof sets, one silver, and one Limited Edition set. All of them them came and were in pretty good condition. Especially the Limited silver set.

I would think the uncirculated set would be more of a key date set since it they discontinued the production of pennies for circulation

No idea how many were available. I received a text from the USM last evening at 6:02. So I got one. Unfortunately for $245 instead of $150. They sold out quickly. I checked back an hour later. There are 25 new listings for them on ebay today. |
