.and almost 500 listings on ebay for the set or individual coins thereof. You'll need a lot of patience with this set in the hope of any return.


Patience and enough common sense to wait until they are not available from the Mint. The ONLY reason to buy from a private party is if you are buying ONE set and free shipping is offered which would maybe put the price BELOW the Mint price.

The "buying Mint rejects" response doesn't fly since the private party set could have the same issues.

If you wait a little longer, you might be able to get sets for less on ebay than what the mint is selling them for.

Not really a risk since you can return them for a refund if they are damaged

Sales are slowing down, but we are also nearing a sell-out (if Foxwoods Man is correct).

I got a "Did You Miss These Products?" e-mail from the mint. The set was one of three items listed. Funny, they should know I did not miss it since they sent me one.

My math says these are barely selling. Averaging only 3,000 a week. Still more than 30,000 available. Going to be a long time before these sell out.

It has been reported that the max sold will be in the 200k range because of rejects.

The remaining number in stock, from a reliable dealer, available for sale (as of 2 days ago) was 4340

A-New-Coin-Set-From-The-Mint-On-8-1-17,-Eu-225th-Anniversary-Set

So over 3000 sold in less than a week should not equate to a "long time before sellout" but we will see.

Now can they create more sets to get up to 225k? Probably but I think they just want this one to be done. Again, we will see.

I think people are realizing they are about to be gone, gone, gone.

I agree BUT...BUT...BUT

I don't trust the Mint not to add a crapload when it gets to "currently unavailable" again



Time will tell....
