Okay, I really like the return to black inserts! Reminds me of the 1968~1974 proof sets and pre-SLQ era silver sets.  It is going to be difficult to break these apart for my albums. Who am I kidding.  |

My subscription is "In stock and reserved". My CC is already charged which is supposed to mean that the set shipped today but PBGS has never been very good about keeping the charge when shipped promise.

Looks nice but I'd have a hard time paying $67.95 for a set...

One thing is for sure is there will be low mintage due to the high price so I might pick up one or two. Also does anyone know the current mintage of the 2010 silver quarter set?

byran makes a good point. Most people with limited budgets aren't going to want to pop over 70 shipped for a set. I can expect to see lower mintage's on these, but I thought the same thing with the 2010 Proof ASE(especially with it being released so late).

I think most of the people that buy them really want them, so I am not expecting the mintage to be much lower; but it will be lower, because "most" is not all. And do not worry, eaglefoot, that baby will get opened. |

It never ceases to amaze me that people on ebay can sell these for more than the mint charges when they're in stock at the mint.  Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

I am undecided on if I will purchase one or not. I have about 200 random proof and mint sets stored away in my safe for that rainy day.

I ordered one yesterday, just one though, hasn't shipped yet. I bought last year's Silver Proof set as well to mark my return to coins since I was a kid. Plan on collecting them from this point on.
