"2012 American Eagle San Fran Two-Coin Silver Proof Set"

Now that the month long window on this set has closed, who out there took the bait and ordered from the Mint. I'll be the first to admit I bought 2 sets, one for me and one for my brother. Do you think people who didn't get a set will be paying more or less than the original $150 on the secondary market?

I gave in last weekend and bought 1 set but only because I can't trust the secondary market -
I though that price was pushy, but you never know what will happen later and I don;t want to pay $200.

They really are getting a bit goofy with the pricing though.

Price was high but, I got a bunch. (Gifts for Christmas). I guess final figures will not be out until they bill for them. I'm waiting to see where the number lands after that. I have to admit, I love the reverse proof. I don't see anyone paying anything good for these until 2015 or so but, I could be wrong.

I think they will be paying more but right now it is hard to tell how much it will go up. I quickly looked at ebay and saw some sellers doing pre sales with prices of $275 and $279. Those were BIN so I don't think we will know what the real value of the sets are until the mint ships them all out. BTW, I didn't buy any. Figured they weren't going to be worth too much more than the mint sold them for and I decided to put the $150 towards stocking my long term food storage. When hard times comes, I can't eat that silver but I got alot of dehydrated food for that $150. Good luck to everyone who bought them, Hope you make a bundle off them.

I will be getting one set for myself. I look at this purchase (although a bit pricey) as a long term hold investment...plus I enjoy the Reverse Proof design :)

really thought about it, but they made a lot of them. I still have 2 25th sets, so Ill use extra cash to buy bullion while the price is nice.
