2018 Baby Sets?

[brismike]

No mention of these yet on the RAM Website?

They still have the 2017 unc sets up at $45 each which is a bit steep for basically the normal unc mint set plus a token.

Do you guys think they will put a 2018 one out?

Maybe they have forgot to do this issue for 2018.

If they have, I believe there just might be a lot of disappointed parents out there.

I tell you what, I'll send and email to the RAM re the 2018 Baby Mint and Proof Sets and will post response once received.

The Bay Sets will be released in December

They are a better quality strike than normal mint sets and contain a different $1 coin normally

I saw that on their site.   I thought it might be a bit early that's all.

I hope they do.

I along with a lot of parents will be disappointed if they don't.

I await the reply from them (if any) as well

Well in 2017 the Baby Mint and Standard Baby Proof sets just had the normal definitive coins exactly the same as the regular Mint and Proof sets.
The Personalised Baby Proof set had the option to choose one of the Alphabet Dollars to make it a little different.

I did not buy the Baby Mint set ($45) but had a look at one. The Regular Mint sets ($25) had no difference in the quality or finish to the coins compared to the Baby set.

The only difference was the Baby Mint set had a Medallion included for the extra $20 that it was priced at.

I have a feeling they will do the same again this year.

Cheers Mike

The Finish/Strike on the coins in the Baby sets and the regular Mint sets are the same But the "Quality/Grade" of the coins in the Baby sets are usually superior to that of the coins found in the regular Mint sets.

Pretty sure it'll be a unique 50c, not $1.

Baby sets are always superior in quality

The 50c Possum Magic coin is very nice.

Yes they are but the price of the Baby Mint Set is $20.00 dearer than the RAM's Annual Mint Set.

Talk about being costly.

The Baby sets have always been more expensive than the regular Mint sets.
