Forgot all about these until I checked my email late in the day. Ordered two and I'm sure there are plenty left.

Noticed a lot of posts about ease and smoothness of the transaction. Has that not always been the case? I've never had any issue placing an order before.

Quote: Noticed a lot of posts about ease and smoothness of the transaction. Has that not always been the case? The super popular things have been a debacle trying to order them like the low mintage 2016 Liberty Medals and the baseball gold come to mind. Basically the things that sell out in under an hour or a couple hours have been a nightmare trying to use the site. The lower the household limit is the worse it usually is

Glad to hear the ordering went smoothly today for everyone!  I'm still on the fence about this set. While I would like to have it, I technically don't need it for any of my ongoing sets. I'm trying to stick to my budget and focus on my Barber dimes and Washington quarters. This is tempting though...hopefully I'll stay strong

Looks like the big boys have stayed away from the set at least for today. From order numbers posted on CU it looks like there were about 42k orders today which would have been more than enough to sell it out if people were getting several at a time.

I got one late last night. It will be interesting comparing it to the regular silver proof set. I hope they do not become a regular issues as I have a collection of silver Kennedy halves, Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes. I get the silver proof set to maintain completion of these sets.

Never has a reverse proof set been done before and hopefully this will be the last one as well. They will all be low mintage, and many will be one of a kind coins. Good luck.

Quote: I hope they do not become a regular issues... They are supposed to be for this year only. While they will certainly have reverse proof products again, I do not think a set like this will be one of them. For what it is worth, having this set more than doubles my reverse proof collection.

I went ahead and bought 2. One to try and split up and sell separately so that the one I keep is a little cheaper. 200k isn't a ton for some of these coins I feel and having the only reverse proof nickel/cent will be cool (unless I am missing something).

Looks like HH limit is gone. Let's see if the big boys come out for this one.

 It would have sold out if album makers were more consistent about adding stuff like this to their pages.
