It’s the low mintage and there is a demand. I missed out on them at the mint by one day for $149. Another company I deal with in Toronto had them on their website for the same price so my father called them up to order a set. They told him to add it to his wish list on the site and they will call him when they come in. The next day we looked on the site and the price jumped $50. My father called them back saying he inquired about them yesterday and they were $50 cheaper. They told us that they have been receiving a lot of calls about the set and that they noticed everyone else had increased the price so they had to also. However, they would honor the price for us on one set. The following day they increased the price again another $50. Now selling at $249.
It’s a shame no Victoria. For the price, one more coin in each set, it’s not going to kill the mint.
I picked up this coin instead of the set, it a half ounce, pure silver 34mm.
