wif99 Valued Member United States 377 Posts	Posted 05/28/2009 11:06 am I am curious if anyone on this forum has the knowledge about How the Mint sets its prices, Example: 2009 United States Mint Presidential $1 Coin Proof Set™ (PD6) $14.95 United States Mint 2009 District of Columbia & U.S. Territories Quarters Proof Set™ (Q09)$14.95 Total$29.90 For $29.95 You can Get United States Mint 2009 Proof Set® (P09) which includes both of the above sets plus the four Lincoln Bicentennial One Cent Coins recognizing the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln's birth;(in Copper), a new Native American $1 Coin; and the Jefferson nickel, Roosevelt dime and Kennedy half-dollar. I just find this fascinating Billy Report this Post to the Staff

KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 05/28/2009 11:44 am I think it's kinda like buying a combo meal at McDonald's - cheaper if you want all the pieces vs. just a la carte. Agree that the prices for just the individual items seems a little high relative to the proof set, though. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!)

numismo Rest in Peace United States 3039 Posts	Posted 05/28/2009 3:59 pm I'm sure the mint uses the AHAPALATTWBI method. Before you ask it stands for "As High As Possible As Long As The Traffic Will Bear It." Report this Post to the Staff
eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 05/28/2009 4:20 pm I would have to agree with the AHAPALATTWBI method. Ever since the Mint (and Congress) have discovered the "money making opportunities" that selling coins and other materials can present to them......they've done exactly that......and continue to find more ever-creative ways to package and present things to the public for even more "consumption".
