Last Monday, I was at the Philly Mint shop and bought 2 sets for the $44.95 issue price, so if you're near Philadelphia, you can still get a good price for them.   01-05-2009, 06:24 PM   #3 (permalink) mrbrklyn CEO of Brooklyn     Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Brooklyn Posts: 10,117 My Mood: Blog Entries: 3 Quote: Originally Posted by ernie11 Not sure why prices would go up on these.

The reg ones sold out a while ago, but the silvers seem to stgill be there. Maybe someone knows something that we don't. __________________ A long term marriage is the process of falling in love with the same person over and over.   01-05-2009, 08:45 PM   #6 (permalink) mrbrklyn CEO of Brooklyn     Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Brooklyn Posts: 10,117 My Mood: Blog Entries: 3 Quote: Originally Posted by mikenoodle Ruben: I don't know if there's anything going on, but the mint website still has Silver Proof sets available.

I'm hoping I can get one more in the next month. Just hope they don't sell out too before then.   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
