Jbuck, I have seen several variations of that comic over the years. That's a really good depiction! Although poor listening is just partly human nature. I have known many people over the years (probably including myself) who have had lists of good and bad practices tacked to their cube wall, only to blatantly ignore them in practice.

$2775 is beyond my budget. They are still available for sale. . . the silver medals are very attractive and as jbuck mentioned, they are available on the secondary market. A quick check of the bay shows slabbed examples of the first medal going for $385 - $425. Saw a raw example asking $325. . .

Numismatic Love left the building years ago and she ain't coming back.

I would not rule out the probability that the Mint is simply focusing on the highest revenue and profit items purchased by "whales". It's a pitfall of business requirements, because it makes (false) sense to executives to focus on the highest profit items and the biggest spenders.
Might be a bigger % profit maker for them, however looking at sales this one might fall flat

Too rich for me. I hope they come down closer to melt in a few years, or at least down to what the Mint would have priced them as a solo offering.

I would expect that to be the case after some time. While I too like the medal, I'm not sure I'd be a buyer at that point though.

Almost 2 weeks since offered for sale and less than 10,000 sets have been sold (@ 12:30 PST and the ATS # is 20,028)

I'm wondering what the future will hold for this "numismatic rarity"? Your thoughts?

Did all the (dime,quarter...ect.) original 2016 offerings sell out?
If not does any know where we can find sold numbers?
