I can only speculate how much is the dollar gold and silver medal will cost once its make available to public. There's no mintage limit how many this set will be made in August.

I assumed they were going to be 30k made or less for each set. Was there not a mintage limit to all of them?

The medals that come with the dime seem to be selling for an average of $350

All right, I was a little late on the trigger when the dime set was released and, while I was able to place an order, I was told that it was on backorder with a release date of September 2. Well, yesterday was September 2, and I did indeed get a notice that my credit card had just been charged and the Mint website is now showing my order as "processing." And to think I came this close to paying $100 or more extra to buy a set on ebay... [As an aside, I find it interesting that, while the coin set is finally available to fulfill my order, it is listed as unavailable on the website, whereas the other three sets released so far are still available for purchase. I wonder if it's simply because of the cost difference and a lot more people could afford to pay $800 as opposed to $1600, $3000 or $5600.]

Thank you for the update.  I agree, this being the more affordable set had the best (and so far only) chance for a sell-out.

 Just received my Merc. dime set today. So glad it didn't ship out on the first day available.....Why you ask? Quote: You wouldn't like it if the mint commited to a price a week in advance, have the price of the metal drop 10% and you're stuck with an inflated price. Day of release set was $810 and I was willing to pay that, however with the drop in gold, I was charged $765 (little consequences with other inflated prices we paid this year)
