I am confused!
I just called the US Mint order line and was told that I could order the
3 coin SAE proof set and it would be delivered in Dec. These same sets are going for an average of about $170.00 on eBay right now. So like the subject line sez, I am confused!. Do I sell the ones I got last week and order replacements. And will I really get the sets from the mint? I think that I still have some Franklin dollars that are listed as on backorder at the mint, and I am sure that I am never going to see them. OT, I am off to see The Rolling Stones! (Hope Mick found his lost voice. It will be a long show if Keith takes over lead vocals!) Bruce |

Check the discussion under the thread "Please Explain why 3 pc SAE sets are selling at a premium". My belief is that it's a combination of ignorance and the desire for instant gratification. If I buy one from eBay, I'll have it in a few days. If I buy one from the mint, I have to wait for at least a month. -- Jim Seymour |

OR....
These are dealers caught in the order limit, I sold three to one dealer at $175 each and have seen that dealer bidding subsequent sets at similar price. I took the money and ran, unlike the Lewis and Clark C&C sets.

I just phoned to inquire about the status of my one order shipped on 30 Oct and they said not to worry, and to expect delivery in 2-3 weeks. Must go around the world a couple times before landing. Anyway, with the amazing secondary market demand for these things, I couldn't help but order a couple more to peg my coin budget. I can certainly wait until Christmas. I doubt the demand will crash before then. Bruce |
