I doubt there will be a sell out. With all the excitement about the Buffalo and silver eagles set, no ones talking about the SF commem and the legacy set.

I look at my order at the mint it was to be shipped 10/26 and now its back-ordered to 12/15! They are just fools with my money,but they are the only place to buy it!

shatsi, I'll bet after the coins are actually put in the public's hands (sometime in December 06), we'll see a lot of noise about them, particularly the "Legacy Set" which will be in high demand after issue. Berry |

And who knows what uproar will be created once they start going on ebay. That seems to be driving the frenzies these days.  Hey! My 100th post!  |

I have been keeping away from all commemorative coins. I go to about 3 coin shows a month and have noticed not much of a market for any of them. I dumped all the commemorative coins I used to have and barly came out ahead of what I spent for them. Unless you just like commemorative coins, my suggestion is forget it.

Just Carl has a point...
I do keep my set of modern commems current for the reasoning that if someone had bought one of the eqarly commems as they were issued, what would that set be worth in high int state today? I realize there are a lot higher mintages of moderns in most cases, but a hundred years from now who knows what a legacy like that might be worth?
I do know what an expensive proposition buying coins for my early commem set is!!!

Well, put me down as someone who thinks this issue will fall flat on it's face! There just aren't that many coin collectors who will make this a profitable purchase.
I will admit thinking of buying one but put my money in DCarr's silver Denver Mint commemorative coin. For design and beauty the San Fran coin cant even hold a candle to this coin.
So time will tell, and I hope no one looses to much on this issue.
Hello OldDan, What DCarr silver Denver Mint Commemorative coin are you referring to in your post? The signed quarter slabs from ICG or something else. I would be interested in seeing the coin you are talking about if you can point the way for me. Thanks OldDan, Berry |

Okay,
I did not purchase silver since it in the legacy set. But I did purchase a gold proof, but now I am considering canceling my order, but I am going to wait until the eagle mania goes down and see if news about the release start picking up...hopefully starting next month

I looked at buying some of these coins, but decided to hold off. Even though they have lower mintages, I, too, wonder about their popularity.
If you like the coin, then buy it. If it's for investment purposes, be very careful. You may be holding onto these coins for a long time before getting your money out, if ever.
And if you want to buy coins for investment, then there are many other coins that will give you a better return.

Here's the link to Daniel Carr's web site: http://www.dc-coin.com/It is a very nice Commemorative. I purchased my Silver Proof Denver Mint from Daniel in August at the ANA in Denver. As for the San Francisco....it's on my list of "wants" and "will get's" no matter what the mintage, it's a great Commens for a Commens collector. |

Thanks dsking, I looked the site up and found many nice items on it. His company is currently in Loveland, Co. Nice coins, but seem a little pricey to me, however will purchase some of the proofs. Thanks for the info dsking, appreciate it much.

You're very welcome Berry4402. Daniel is a very talented designer IMHO. I also picked up his signature Proof New York Quarter along with the Mint Commens. The photos just don't do the Commens justice as it is finely detailed and quite beautiful. Daniel and his wife are very nice people and I enjoyed purchasing and chatting with them. Oh and he's also a member of our forum family and will occasionally post something interesting here.
Enjoy!
