It would be cool, but I am certain it would be priced out of my budget.  |

Proof.
Since we're just playing here, considering the 2014 Kennedy was .75 oz of essentially solid gold, I would expect your fantasy six-coin set to come in somehwere around the 2-oz range.

So what is my set going to cost? About $3000? It'd be out of my league.  |

Let's see: $3000 for a current mint offering --- or $3000 spent on real coins a hundred years old? TPG graded and with collectors who continue to seek these coins? My bias needs no further explanation. |

$3000 could fill most of the remaining holes in my albums.  |

I have no problem buying new stuff from the mint, but I would not buy something that expensive.

Sorry, no. Let's not have the US Mint turn into the Perth Mint of Australia or the Royal Canadian Mint with their hundreds of "specialty" offerings each and every year. And for $3 grand, I'd rather buy a correctly graded '09S-VDB LWC in MS64RED or MS65R&B. There will be enough expensive coins for your gold hounds next year for the MacNeil/Weinmann anniversary. So enough is enough. |

Wow....That would be interesting......Not many of the General Public outside of coin collectors and speculators would buy it I would believe.
Also what would be the cost....market value of gold/plus ? I figure $5-600 myself.

If I had the $3000 to invest in the fantasy set, I would pass. For the money, I would consider other avenues: 1877 Indian Head cent1909-S VDB Lincoln 1937-D Three Legged Buffalo 1916-D Mercury Etc.,etc.,etc. The demand for the keys will always be there. |
