What am I missing here? These 2007 sets are selling for very high dollars on ebay. A Thomas Jefferson set like mine just sold for $182.50. I purchased mine last December for $7.95. What is so special about these sets that making the price go up? Thanks

Where did it sell for that? ebay? If so my guess is that someone thought they were getting the President dollar and the First Spouse COIN at a heck of a bargain price.

Sorry missed that you said it was on ebay.

Same reason why people pay big money for empty proof set boxes, or empty XBox boxes, or pictures of a cell phone. They see a picture of something and don't carefully read the description.

Yeah, I am a little confused about that pricing as well considering that the Jefferson spouse medals are still available individually from the Mint http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wc...tegory=10193
packaging should not add $170+ in value but here are two ~$180 closings from ebay and they were the only two I could find with none for sale at present time http://cgi.ebay.com/2007-Thomas-Jef...al_W0QQitemZ a href= https://www.coincommunity.com/go/link.asp?target=https://www.ebay.com/itm/-/300281461927 target= _blank rel= nofollow 300281461927 /a QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual?hash=item a href= https://www.coincommunity.com/go/link.asp?target=https://www.ebay.com/itm/-/300281461927 target= _blank rel= nofollow https://www.coincommunity.com/go/link.asp?target=https://www.ebay.com/itm/-/300281461927 /a 300281461927&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66:2%7C65:13%7C39:1%7C240:1318http://cgi.ebay.com/2007-Presidenti...ut_W0QQitemZ a href= https://www.coincommunity.com/go/link.asp?target=https://www.ebay.com/itm/-/250343034258 target= _blank rel= nofollow 250343034258 /a QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual?hash=item a href= https://www.coincommunity.com/go/link.asp?target=https://www.ebay.com/itm/-/250343034258 target= _blank rel= nofollow 250343034258 /a &_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66:2%7C65:13%7C39:1%7C240:1318

I am confused as well. Here is another set selling on ebay. Still has 2 days left...10 bids and is currently at $71.00

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...270321211416

Could the set package really hold that kind of value?

Looking back through the archives of Numismaster, I found the 2007 sets to have very low production numbers.

Here are the final sales figures for the sets provided by Numismaster:

2007 Washington $1 and Spouse Medal Set 16,736
2007 Adams $1 and Spouse Medal Set 15,496
2007 Jefferson $1 and Spouse Medal Set 15,853
2007 Madison $1 and Spouse Medal Set 15,690
