OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 07/30/2015 1:06 pm Ran across a listing on ebay for empty LESP packaging. My first thought was "who would be silly enough to pay $15 for an empty box?" However, I realized that I have extra silver proof sets that I'm hanging on to. All I need to do is pick up a proof eagle and I have an LESP at $20 under the mint issue price. No wonder this set isn't doing well. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 07/30/2015 2:34 pm Yes, this set does not offer anything unique in its contents, so the entire premium is being paid for that packaging. Sad to see is going for so little. Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
barryg Pillar of the Community United States 5839 Posts	Posted 07/30/2015 3:09 pm Yep, that's one set on which I'm glad I didn't fall for the hype. I buy a lot of stuff I probably shouldn't, but even I knew it was stupid to pay that much of a premium just for the packaging....

OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 08/01/2015 12:55 am I looked at the sales figures and based on time since release, this set is about 10,000 orders behind previous sets. Perhaps it's that the mint has released more desirable items lately, or maybe collectors are tired of it. Either way, the mint will have to release the 2015 set some time this year and if this set only sells 40,000, it will create an interesting secondary market. Report this Post to the Staff
