No question I will be adding this one to the collection. The actual question is how to budget for it after all the Morgans, ASEs and the Peace dollar. Sheesh!! Edited by CelticKnot

$120...wow Defintely some sticker shock there... yeah. But this is what we're dealing with with the Mint these days. Huge price increases. The 2016 Reagan C&C set was $68.95 for reference. It contained an ASE vs a silver medal but otherwise similar makeup. By the way... my jaw just dropped when I realized that the last C&C set was released 5 years ago. Wow. Edited by CelticKnot

Wow, I exactly predicted the price on my personal budget planner as $120 for this one. Expensive.

What make this one more special then the other ones, made it cost this much? Nothing other than they just raised the price. Look at the sale prices of other sets on ebay. Sets that have less mintage are selling for far less. Take the Johnson reverse proof Coin and Chronicles set for example. It had a mintage of 25,000. It sells in the $65 range. The Truman and Eisenhower sets go for more than $120, but they both only had a mintage of 17,000. When the Truman set came out the household limit was five, so I got five. Then they changed the household limit to two for all since and that's what I have been buying. Now this set has a household limit of one. I guess that I'll have to buy one later. I can't imagine the price on these staying up at $120 given were the other sets are. |

they keep lowering the household limits in order to keep more product available for the dealers to buy.

I just saw that the HHL was increased from 1 to 10.? This doesn't make sense at all as these will be gone in 2 minutes...

and there are only a hair over 20k available. I have no idea what they're thinking, but they absolutely don't understand their market.
