I knew they had the SF finish, but they have been the same metal content. Now that is different too.

We are going to have to start weighing the 2009s in change like the dang 1982s :)

Oh my I can just see the HSN of these issues they will go crazy!

Yes I feel all three of these sets will become like the 1999 proof sets and double in value fast.

That will be allot of coins CRAP more money to spend now I know me and I will have to get allot of each of these sets guess I will get a couple each month not sure how many to get but this will be a good years to get extra sets that is for sure.

Is there set coming out with a limited issue of 50,000 sets only? I thought there was but haven't heard anything recently.

All 8 business strikes, 8 mint set versions, and 4 proof versions?

That is getting a little nuts. The mint is just trying to rape collectors.


That's just messed up - all you have to buy to get it ALL are one proof set, one mint set, and eight cents that you could buy on ebay for less than $5 total once they are all out. If that seems like being 'raped' to you, I'm just glad I don't go grocery shopping with you!

Ah this is reminiscent of post about 2 years ago about the Mint putting special limited edition coins in random rolls. Seems like we are almost there!

Reminds me of something that ruined the baseball card collecting. Special inserts. Hmmm definitely not a good thing.
