2012 United States Mint Uncirculated Coin Set

IMO - Buying mint sets for a investment is not a good idea.

Most mint sets end up selling for less than their issue price.
The odds are, that will be the same in the future.

I do not feel Presidental dollars have a large enough collector base
to drive the price of the mint sets up.

Many collectors, like myself, purchase the mint sets to fill their albums
so most will already have their coins that way.

Many collectors, dealers and Eaby sellers also buy the mint roll sets of parks quarters and Presidential dollars... I feel these coins will be available in good numbers.

Of course if you are talking on long long term investment .. then maybe .. if you are up for a 25 to 50 year wait. Or you are bulding stock, for having a possible coin shop.

Uncirculated sets for investment is not a good idea. I have made that mistake in the past and was never able to sell them for a profit. They always sell on the secondary market for less than the issue price if they sell at all.

Personally, I go for a least one silver set every year.
I just like them, And of course all the ASE's.

Well thanks I will stick to just two sets for my albums then. I always also buy two silver proof sets and full proof sets each year have been since 1999.

I got tired of trying to get the coins for my albums though with rolls figure just getting two uncirculated sets gives me everything need for the albums.

I only buy proof and uncirculated sets for my personal collection, but I thought I read something about one or more circulation coins missing from the 2012 sets (similar to the 1999 SBAs). If true, what am I missing?
