2007 Legacy Sets go on sale tomorrow, are you a buyer ?

[carson city]

Mint to sell these sets at 12 noon Oct. 25th for $135.00. Mintage set at 50,000 sets limit of 10 per household.

 

Previous sets have shown to be a nice investment. Will these ?

I bought one last year but have no plans to do so again this year.

Why is the USMint's web page not listing this set? I have searched it over even using their search engine to no avail. Where does one buy these at noon tomorrow?

And, no, I don't think I will be buying this year. I have the last two. The packaging is nice and all, but I have decided it's not worth the money and I have not seen any great demand for these.

 

A quick search on Ebay shows the 2005 and 2006 sets selling for less than cost.

No, I won't buy one.

 

I bought one the first year and then held it thinking that I wanted to collect it. Finally I decided that it was sort of silly to keep it because I already had all the coins that were in it in other places. I could have sold it for a nice profit, but when I let it go I made $5, which is better than I could do today.

 

Last year's set was a non-starter. It sells for less than issue, which will probably be the fate of this year's set. All you really get with these things is a big cardboard folder. It's really nothing special unless you like to have your Proof set coins mounted sideways in the holders.
