silver halves from the mint

[norcalsteve]

I know it is not crh but, is anyone ordering the 4 coin silver halve set from the mint? I wonder if any of them will ever end up in a roll.

Personally the only thing I order anymore is a proof set every year. Been a collector since I was in diapers and I have every proof set from 1955 on otherwise I wouldn't bother with those either. Prices have gotten stupid over the past few years.

I read the title as silver hates the mint.

I just ordered two 4-coin silver sets yesterday. I expect that they should be very beautiful.

After 20 years they will show up in a box or a roll definitely. These silver half coins are equivalent to the 1982 Washington silver half commemorative or 1993 Madison Bill of rights silver half commemorative coins. I myself found a 1982 silver Washington silver half this year. I believe other members here found 1993 Madison. I am not sure about the gold one.

Sure you'll find em in rolls. As soon as a kid get's in the coin collection and buys bubblegum, or your house gets robbed.

I ordered 5 sets of the 50th Anniversary Kennedy 2014 Half-Dollar Silver Coin Collection myself yesterday. I just got my confirmation email a little while ago that my order has already been shipped. I haven't bought any coins from the Mint in a few years but I figured I'd get some of these sets. There is a product limit of 300,000 units but no mintage limit so its unclear what the final sales figures will be. The set includes a reverse proof coin from the U.S. Mint at West Point and an enhanced uncirculated coin from the U.S. Mint at San Francisco.

It would sure be a great find to ever find any one of these coins in circulation. It may happen someday for someone.

I get a silver proof set every year and was too late jumping on the silver baseball commemoratives this year, but but I did order one of the 50th anniversary 4 coin sets. I'm looking forward to getting it.

Kennedy Silver Half Dollar Coin Set 2014 50th Anniversary

Nice coins, but too pricey for me at 100 bucks.

Received my 5 sets today. For those that have ordered, take a close look at the 4 on the Denver uncirculated coin. Let me know what you find.

One of my sets is already being consigned in local high-end auction. I had realized $1500 on my 25th ASE Anniversary set on the last high-end auction so I hope that this set pays for my others.

Tell us what is up with your Denver coin! I am not going to get a set it looks like! show show show

I'll bite too. What's up with the coin? I got my set today and it looks normal to me.

Look at the crossbar of the 4 under magnification. I wouldn't be able to take a photograph without it looking like crap. I wish I had a digital microscope to take a photo with.

I still don't really see anything there, but maybe it's just me. I used my loupe and I still didn't see anything.

I got a notice on my door Friday when I got home that UPS attempted delivery of my 5 set order but it requires a delivery signature so delivery will be re-attempted Monday but I'll be working again on Monday and I'm not sure when or how I'm going to get my order. I'm not sure why a company like UPS doesn't work on Saturdays. You'd think a competitive company like UPS would do business on Saturdays. I wish (and it seems strange that they don't) that the US Mint would use the USPS for pkg delivery because at least the USPS does business on Saturdays. Even most banks are open at least half a day on Saturdays. Seems like UPS has a rather strange business model to me (at least in terms of their limited hours of operation).

I read that total orders on the first day of sales for these sets accounted for 85,670 units sold so I wonder how close they are to selling out now. Im not necessarily planning on selling any of my sets anytime soon but the sooner they sell out, the more collector demand there will be on the secondary markets. So if demand and secondary market prices are high enough for these sets I might be tempted to sell one or two of my sets which would offset the price I paid a little bit for the sets I keep. I at least hope total sales aren't much over the 300,000 product limit the Mint announced.

USPS delivered mine (it was shipped from Fedex to the local P.O.).

I guess the Mint uses different carriers maybe depending on the amount of the sale and other reasons. I cant remember if pkg's get redirected to the USPS if UPS is unsuccessful with delivery or if I will just have to eventually go get it from some UPS office. It would just be so much better policy if USP had Saturday delivery so they could deliver pkgs to residential addresses for working customers. Hopefully I'll be able to figure out how to get my pkg sometime soon without too much hassle.
