So, after 38 pages, and the final mintage declared, this poll shown our member bought about 300 +/- sets =~ about 0.128% of the mintage.

I did my little inventory and realized that I've ordered 3 sets of PCGS PF/MS 70 and 2 raw sets.
Price wise, it seemed like the price of this year (and 2012-S set) haven't appreciated much. I even saw some PCGS PF/MS sets selling for cheaper than initial price ($280/set) by some major retailers.... is it because of market saturation or people just got tired after 3 consecutive years?

Even though these are "collectible" versions.....I'd say the drop in silver spot has hurt some.

If theyd dont a 150k or even 200k mintage a lot of people would want them the mint to demand cheapens it though. From the sales last year it looked like probably 30-40% were bought just to resell, it was probably even higher this year. Theres just too many being bought to be put on the secondary market. |

If we are looking back to 2006, the set in 2006 was also mint to demand (as I've recalled) and the mintage was close to 250K. Obviously 2006 and 2013 situation is a bit different too.... the economy is worse now, PM have been on a downtrend, more products on the market.... these are the things I didn't thought of with my last post..... do you agree?

The 06 set also had the advantage of being the first one, but I would definitely agree the economy cant be ignored. The less money you spend the more you pick and choose what you would buy extra. More products and less money and you get people scattered around for what they pick. The sales seem to be the same but it seems like each year more and more of the sets are being bought for resale.

I just checked and APMEX is having a special sale on this set in PCGS PF/MS70 FS at $225 ($65 cheaper, compare to when they first came out). Anyone still looking for a graded set, now is a good time to get them...... I would have got a few more graded set; however, I've already got 3 graded sets and two raw sets. That's enough for me for now. |
