I am for sure going to get one set but I don't know if I should wait to order until the silver proof set is released on 5/14 to save on shipping or just spend the extra $ to make sure I get one before it sells out.

I don't care if I have to wait for the secondary market - probable - but I'm going to own this set.

I'm sure there will be a frenzy and similar to the Kennedy Anniversary silver set. The dimes won't be as popular though for sure, but there will be only 75k rather than 225k for the Kennedy set.
The other interesting aspect is the relatively low purchase price of US$61.95. This reminds me of the TA9 set ($13.95); i.e. it is affordable for everyone.
I don't think it will sell out on the day of release, but surely within a week.

Ddave is buying a modern coin set? It has a personal significance to me all out of proportion to anything numismatic. Further details wouldn't be appropriate here; I'll tell you the story off-forum if you wish. |

Not to repeat myself but in the Commemorative thread about the same set I commented that the set will NOT sell out in a couple of days but go on the eternal "backordered" status before going to "out of stock" status in a month or so before going to "sold out" many months from now...
