In reply to Kaiser Wilhelm. Kaiser, anyone with any sense is not investing in coins or precious metals, or in stacking them for the end-of-days.

In reply to Craig. No, it's not climate alarmists but rather religious fanatical cults who are constantly predicting the end of the world. Or rather the end of their world (Jonestown, Branch Davidians, Heavan's Gate, etc. etc.). Will the church of Donald Trump be next? How's that for hyperbole?

Mike,
I have several 4 Coin sets of the Proof AGE’s, the last purchased in 2021. Most of my sets cost between $1000 and $1400. The one in 2021 was $5055! I wanted the first issue of the new design but it was probable my last purchase of the 4 coin set. I’m just buying the 1/10th AGE coin. BTW, in 20 years, with the way things are going in this country, we’ll probably all be speaking Mandarin. I know that might sound like hyperbole, but is it any different from those climate alarmist constantly spouting how the earth will end every 12-15 years? I believe they’ve been saying that for the last 40 years.

I can respect that analysis and wish you good luck! Unfortunately some of us can’t count on planning out that far. https://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/table4c6.html

The USM customer service rep said that they ship everything out of a single facility, and that they have not even got around to shipping out the remaining West Point Silver Eagles. The 29th came and went and I am still waiting for my order. SHAMEFUL. Said that demand was too high, yet these were subscription…

This is how I look at it. In 2002 I purchased the four piece gold set from the US Mint for $999 The 2023 four piece set is $5332 so tell me your opinion what the four piece gold set will cost in twenty years from now from the US mint .

In reply to REB. It's a Catch-22 situation with these coins, REB. The Mint's price is more than likely a bit too steep for many of us average collectors. On the other hand, they're not a good investment for those who can easily afford them but prefer the far lower premium of bullion.

In reply to Kia99. Thanks for the information. I suspect you're right about excitement. 13,000 mintage (which is 4-5,000 higher than past sales numbers) and a high price tag tend to curb enthusiasm.
