What coins or sets do you think the US Mint will release in the future that will cause the excitement / hysteria like that which we are seeing for the 20th Century Silver Eagle 3 piece set?

Good question Typemaster. Maybe better to first ask what do you think caused the excitement over the silver 3 piece set? I really don't know, but lets look at the components. Forgive me if I'm stating what's very obvious and correct me if I'm wrong, but there's nothing unusual about the uncirculated or proof pieces, the interest is caused by the reverse proof. Didn't the mint limit the quantity on this piece to 250,000? Should this relatively low mintage on an unprecedented(?) reverse proof ASE demand a price of $150 or more? The folks on ebay that are bidding on these sets seem to think so. Or maybe there is someone sitting on a huge pile of these sets and artificially bidding up the price so they can sell there holdings at an inflated price (the old pump and dump scheme). It wouldn't be the first time. What do you think? |

I would say the first year of complete change of all US coin designs that go back to the multiple hubbing technique and have nice, deep designs actually created by an artist.
And then I woke up.
I don't think the mint makes much of anything spectacular any more.

Actually, the uncirculated ASE in the 20th Aniv set is of note as well. It carries the West Point mint mark, whereas the regular MS ASEs have no mint mark. Now, they are making more MS W ASEs than the 250,000 in the set, but I would bet that the final numbers will still be somewhere around 500-750,000 or so total (provided they stop selling them at the end of the year). That would put its mintage well below the MS key date of 1996 (mintage 3.6 million). You are correct in saying that the reverse proof is making all of the noise right now but I bet the W ASE will be a sleeper key  |

I am actually thinking that among collectors, the Presidential dollar program will be quite popular. I always have to listen to my Dad drone on about how everyone collected from circulation, "we didnt have to go to a fancy coin shoppe to get our coins.....and we LIKED it that way!" Of course, the general public could care less. |

Well the mint and the govt. having a piece of the collector by issuing proof reverse,in the past issuing mint and proof set,for me it is another way of crediting loss leaders and earning revenue by the mint.
That why made a coin to commemorate the collector who bought the coins,Well every state have an assoc. and they have a logo it is not only profit but crediting collector for their contribution.just pushing luck.

The next huge offering in my humble opinion will come when the Mint offers up the four 2009 Lincoln cents and one of them will be a REAL COPPER coin and hopefully a 2009 S, VDB. While there may be quite a few struck it will still be THE COIN of the program and a must have for coin collectors. There will also be a silver Lincoln commemorative to go along with the cents so a variation of sets is possible. While we are a few years away from this set it will be the BLOCKBUSTER the Mint is counting on!
