2012 American Eagle San Francisco Two-Coin Silver Proof Set

However I am waffling back and forth. I am really interested in getting one (I was contemplating 1 each for both of my boys) but am unsure. I know they won't likely get any cheaper unless a ton of speculators buy them up only to have demand not be there but I don't see that happening.

What to do?

I definitely won't rush to buy these, although if there enough people turned off by the price, it might be a limited product after all. I'll probably wait until the S-rolls/bags are offered on June 21st, as I'm more excited about the SF circulation quarters than this set.

Probably not, if it had been 2x the cost of the silver proof ASE, $119.95, I had estimated at least 750K. For every $10 more per set, expect to drop about a 100K from the mintage, which brings my estimate presale mintage to about 450-500K. After the order window closes, some of the flippers and mass merchandisers might cancel their orders, if the mintage appears too high for them to profit from resale immediately, but easy 400K mintage, it will take a lot of marketing and/or word of mouth to get to 700-800K sets.

$150. Wow. That's appalling, considering that silver was around $45 when the U.S. Mint released the 5-coin 25th ASE set at $300. Ag was ridiculously inflated at $45, but still.

I'll be waiting on this one to see what the sales are going into the last week of offering. Of course that's when everyone will jump on this if sales are low by then. This stinks. I'm not a fan of this type of mint-to-demand BS at all. I would have jumped at $150 for a 100k mintage but this is asinine.

It's possible that we'll see the Mint web site go down at the end of the ordering window due to ordering frenzy. Exactly opposite of the previous ASE set.

I was going to buy two sets, but I've had to re-think that idea because the price is said to be $150.00 per set. Steep!!

Im thinking two or three. One to keep, 1 or 2 to send to TPGs.

My guess is that I don't think the mintage will be above 500k. It is only for 1 month and most people haven't heard about them. Most collectors hear about them after the dealers have them and the Mint has stopped selling them. With just a month of selling, I don't see it that high of a mintage. Nothing more so than a typical year. Probably much less, is my guess.
