May be a good buy - only 100,000 produced - the US Mints' phones have been busy all day, website crashes over and over. Max order is 5 sets per household.

Took 2 hours, but finally got my 5 ordered.... Should be here mid-November.

Apmex is already buying them for $125 per set more than you pay... Ebay sellers are making a killing right now.

I was going to wait a month or two until everyone has the sets hoarded away/broken up, etc. then maybe sell 3 or 4 sets, but if the premium is ridiculous who knows. I think it's going to depend on silver prices as well as demand, these sets will flood the market after they start getting shipped, but it will pick back up again after that initial shock is over.

You're paying about $20 more per coin, vs. what you'd pay for a regular SAE (apmex has them for about $40 a pop). So, you're paying a premium of about $100 per set.. Not to bad. everything says I picked up 5 too, ordered them separately.

Nice, glad you picked some up. They are selling on ebay now for about $600 a set - geez. I read somewhere that the 2006 SAE set (mintage of 250,000) took about 10 months for it's value to peak. If this set hits $750-1000 + I'll probably sell. Some are calling for $1500/set, but that seems a little over the top.

One of the kitco members mentioned that the local coin dealers are expecting this to settle around $2k. Brings me back to the housing bubble.... lol Gotta know when to pull your chips off the table.
