" I don't care as long as I get mine"  It probably needs to be one per household though. |

I agree with 1 per house.

Two per would be nice....one to keep and one to sell but....it will probably be one per (I voted 5 per) The one per will NOT stop the dealers from getting thousands by however means they always use and it will be a dealer cornered market which won't be pretty for those unable to buy direct. I have a pic that is a perfect example of how the one per works with dealers...this is the original ATB 5 oz. bullion that was supposed to be one set per...(sold by a few Mint selected Authorized purchasers) I had to go through hoops to get my ONE set (cost close to a grand)....  That is THOUSANDS of sets.... |

For a hot item, I'd like the limit at 2. One is thinking about other people and promoting more distribution but as Fox highlighted, the dealers will get their share regardless of limits so setting the limits so low might be shooting collectors in the foot. Five sets is kinda high though especially with such a low mintage. The bad thing about this whole issue is that it took a gimmick to spur interest in it. That 2014 set that's pictured in the article is really nice. I enjoyed the historical tidbits along with the stamps and that chuck of silver with the bronze next to it was nice. I was thinking "can't wait for the next one" but this upcoming set might be a hassle.  |

I voted one per to help insure that I get my one. Would also like to see two per but I'll take what I can get! |

What is the running history for Coin and Chronicles sets?
For the last 2 they sat on the market readily for sale for many months and only sold 12K for the FDR and 15K for the Theodore Roosevelt sets.
Sure the upcoming coin & chronicle offerings may appeal to more buyers since they were actually alive to remember those being honored or maybe there will be an upswing int he market for said product due to the previous issues low mintage like the 2012 silver proof sets low mintage boosted 2013 and 2014 sales.

The key factor that will drive demand for these 2015 C&C sets is the fact that they will feature Reverse Proof Presidential dollars. At only 17k max mintage each and no other product announced that will contain these RP coins, they're sure to fly off the shelves. |

As for the picture, was that a regular dealer or a distributor dealer? If a distributor, you have to remember they were not restricted to buying one set they were able to buy as many as they wanted and were only supposed to SELL one per household. Many bought their full allotment and then shipped them all off to NGC. (And I'm sure a lot of them ignored the one per person selling limit as well which would explain how other dealers got large quantities. Quote:

While there is currently nothing on the schedule, late last year the mint did mention a plan to issue a full reverse proof SET in 2015. Nothing has been officially said about it since then. Could you see them selling these very low mintage coin and chronicles sets, an then announcing the full reverse proof sets that would also contain these reverse proof dollars? Edited by Conder101

I think the limit should be two per household. I'd like one to keep in the OGP and then one for my small dollars collection. Whatever the limit is, I'll buy as many as I can. This way I can trade for another set that I might have trouble getting. Quote:
The Mint will earn the same revenue no matter where the sets end up, but spreading them around more evenly would further the Mint's goal of making U.S. numismatic coins available to as many collectors as possible. They may earn the same revenue per set, but the shipping revenue will be different. Packaging multiples together saves money, but each order has one shipping charge. At $4.95/order and a limit of five, that's $0.99 per set. Shipping for five sets would be more than $4.95, so the rest comes from the selling price of the sets. At a limit of two sets, the mint would likely be shipping twice as many packages. They'd also have about twice as many $4.95 charges. My bet is that considering the total cost of shipping (rates, packaging, labor, etc.), the mint would be better off with a limit of five. Then again, it's not about them, it's about us because in theory they're supposed to work for us. So, I say make it two, but I'm fine with five so long as I get mine. |

I am not buying this set for the reverse proof dollar. I want the set because I have grown to like the silver medals within. The dollar coins are a bonus. |
