I also bought the set through a subscription. Glad I did.

I think that the aftermarket gets 'flooded' with individual coins from those who canceled their subscription after first few coins or flippers trying to make some quick profit on the initial coinage.

I notice that CA is selling the Varley coin at $124.95 so not all of the G07 is selling at a discount.

It's one of my favourite sets and I have duplicates of each of the coins and one box.


Me too. I have one set with wooden box, and one set of individual coins as well!

Recently (couple of month ago) they sold all the set (I think in the box) for issue.
Although I like my set, but agree with people who said, that "success" or "failure" it just depends on whom will you ask - person who tries unsuccessfully resell these coins, collector that love his set, or flipper that sold couple of empty boxes for $200 each.

But try to sell any individual coin from this set - no one will be interested to buy it more than for $50

Anyone who still want the Group of 7 Complete Set with box can get it at Colonial Acres for $499. It does not have the cardboard box/sleeve but does have the wooden box.

And this is exactly means "Success, as for minting uniquely nice series" and "Failure of the set in the secondary marked in the long term".

Not a failure at all, but a bargain hunters dream.
It took me until this year to fill the set and find the box.
All purchased below issue by a fair margin. I really love
this set and have it on display.

Its a failure for sellers but a bargain for buyers. I've seen it sell for below $300 for a $600+ issue price set.

Congrats SilverDon!

I like this set. Some coins weak (imo) , the Guardian, as example, but the rest are very well.

the sad part:
I don't have display, it stored all the time closed in the box that in the box.
