McDonald's had literally given the RCNA a bucket full of them! There were also a very limited quantity (only 10) cloth bags with the McDonald's logo and containing all five different coins. They were being sold for $50.
Very interesting!

This is certainly my favorite promotion they've done in a long time. But of course it is!

It appears that the market is softening. I see sets going for as little as $31, but most are in the 35-45 range now.

CelticKnot, it must have been the hype, right?

I was counting on that. I never did actually get any from the source. I do like Big Macs, but I very rarely eat at McD's and decided superfluous trips and sandwich purchases were too much. I'll just get the set on ebay!

Will McDonalds accept them slabbed like that for a Big Mac, or would I have to 'crack-em'-out' at the counter?

I knew the hype would die down on these. I'll have to go through the sold listings and see if anything interesting comes up. I did check a few weeks ago, and saw someone managed to snag an "error" bag with two tokens in it - sold it for over $80!

It would have been fun to use a few of them, but I'm happy with the $60 boost they gave my coin budget last month

Even Ronald McDonald's wife can't believe that listing:

You can just give it to me and I will buy you a Big Mac.

The funny thing is I don't eat at McDonald's very often at all. I'm more of a Burger King guy.
