JRin_Mass says
August 20, 2014 at 7:15 pmGoodness gracious. What’s up with the 2013 Uncirculated set? A few weeks ago, it was briefly “no longer available” and then it was back on sale – perhaps we can ascribe that to confusion with the 2013 Proof set, which sold out around the same time. Then on (Sunday?) it was again “no longer available” and now (Wednesday) it’s back on sale again. The number of sets sold (so far) is the lowest in decades; I’ve got about 80 of them, and I’d REALLY like them to sell out soon! The suspense is killing me.
JR_in_Mass says
August 20, 2014 at 7:16 pmSorry for the typo in my name.
Coin Update says
August 20, 2014 at 7:26 pmI have reached out the the US Mint for an explanation. Will relay any response here or on Mint News Blog.
JR_in_Mass says
August 20, 2014 at 9:51 pmAnd another thing! (Don’t get me started.)
The 2013 Uncirculated Dollar Coin Set is supposedly “available for shipping 09/04/2014,” or in a little over two weeks. Since early August, it’s always available two weeks in the future. According to this week’s report, the sales volume was minus 3, and if I recall correctly, last week it was +1, so in fact they don’t seem to be delivering any. Or if they are, they’re just recycling returns.
The individual 2013-W Silver Eagles sold out some time ago, so one assumes that whatever Eagles are already packaged in the Dollar Sets are all that remain. So, again, what’s up? Are they sold out or not, and if not, why isn’t the Mint delivering?
Bilbo says
August 20, 2014 at 9:51 pmHey I thought Gold coins went with the Weds London pm fix. How come we didn’t see a drop in prices? It’s at $1295.
Steve G says
August 20, 2014 at 10:42 pmCan you recheck the figures for the Proof/Unc Baseball Hall of Fame Dollars. Something’s not right there. Thanks.
Coin Update says
August 21, 2014 at 6:49 amThe gold coin prices depend on both the weekly average from prior Thursday to current Wednesday and the Wednesday PM Fix. Since the average was still within 1300-1349.99, there was no price change.
I rechecked the BHOF numbers and these are what the Mint is reporting. There was a shift in numbers for the proof/unc silver dollars compared to last week.
Jeff says
August 24, 2014 at 3:10 pmThe increase/decrease numbers are backwards on your BHoF SIlver coins, although the totals are correct. Total coins sold are 399,079, leaving a few hundred left in (or returned to) inventory. Perhaps these are sub-standard returns; maybe they will be available by phone. In any case, Proofs increased by 5569 and uncirculateds decreased by 6490.
