the 2005 proof 5 pc statehood set and the 2004 silver proof 5 pc statehood set without sleeve or box were selling by some dealer at a bargain. buy these sets and you will enjoy big profit in the near future. remember the premier silver proof set and the proof set dated from 1992 - 1998. the retail price were the same right now.

you can buy it 10 to 25% less.

i also got one 2004 silver proof set (5 pc of statehood only) without sleeves/box and c.o.a. it was cheap and alright. only $14.95. with sleeves cost you $32.00 to $37.00.

I found a 2001 unc. Silver Buffalo dollar with everything except the COA. I think it was $90,about 35-50% less than they normally go for.

what you mean 2001 unc silver buffalo?. is it 2001 silver proof set with buffalo nickel on it?.

Anchor,Here is a description from the Bowers &Merena website:

"The 2001 Buffalo silver dollar is one of the most popular coins in the history of the US Mint. This beautiful commemorative coin, when offered by the US Mint in a "coin and currency" set, was a complete sellout in only four days, and there is a highly active after-market among dealers and collectors alike. This new issue is designed after one of the most favored and sought after of all coins, the Buffalo nickel of 1913-38. Only minor modifications were made in the coin's motif as the new dollar coin was adopted, and the result is a sensational success."

This new coin was minted in two formats: the circulation strike and the Proof. The term "circulation strike" is something of a misnomer in this case, of course, as the coin will never reach circulation due to its silver content and premium issue price. What is important is that there are two ways to collect this new coin, and both are proving to be highly popular.

is it safe to buy proof set 5 pc statehood in plastic case without c.o.a. and sleeves/box. the price is very much bargain. and after all we are buying the worth of coins only. any suggestion and comment?. another disadvantage thing is that these kind of sets which were broken up from 11 pc set are not putting ads from dealers for their buying price. we can only see for selling by them.

GDJMSP

Safe ?? That depends. The coins may be of lower qulaity than normal. I don't think I'd ever do it unless I could see the coins in hand. And if you ever try to sell them - expect to get less than you pay.

will you purchased a 5 pc statehood proof set or silver proof set without sleeves/box and c.o.a. at a bargain price?.

Morgan

I am not sure what your asking here but If you are trying to determine if any one has purchased sight unseen sets without COA than yes I have. I have both the 2004 and 2005 proof quarters without COA I fully intend to break them out of the holder and place them in Direct Fit holders so that I can place them in my collection as I wish.

Since I have not come across after market holders similar to the mints I feel relatively safe. However I am taking a risk and I am aware that at any point I can get screwed.

Now if I am mistaken and there are mint case replicas for the quarters availble someone please let me know so I can stop purchasing in this manner.
