US Mint updated silver pricing today

Yeah most of my 20th Century albums are complete with the exception of key dates like the 1916-D Dime, 1909-S VDB Lincoln Cent, 1881-C Morgan etc and while I have some 19th century coins those can get pricey too so that's why I got into cheap foreign coins and paper money.

Proof ASE price…wow. Presidential silver medal…no words. I literally was finished with the next one in February.

 

It helps to buy the key dates first when building a set. They will be the first coins to rise in price.

 

Still going to respectfully disagree on this point. When you're just starting a set, your knowledge of that series is at its minimum. To my mind, it's much better to shop for the keys once you have a better idea of what you're looking for.

(Not to mention that for series like Mercs or Morgans, the commons have appreciated a lot faster than the keys lately, just because of the rising price of silver. But that could just as easily have gone in the opposite direction.)

 

I hear what you’re saying. But I do respectfully disagree with you. However, we both have good reasons for building a set a different way.
I have several sets that I’m currently building and the only coin I need is a key date or a semi key date. In other words expensive. A lot of my other sets were built the way I described and ensure save me a lot of money.

 

Now I'm glad I got the 1 oz. silver Superman medal for just $135, and the reverse proof Morgan/Peace dollar set for just $215.

I still want the 2026 silver proof set for all the semiquincentennial stuff inside, but... definitely not going to be buying any other Mint silver products for quite some time.

On the plus side it will make coin roll hunting for silver dimes feel more rewarding!

 

I don't know if you have a type set or not, but these 250th Ann. coins will all need to be a part of a type set, and also, a new page for them.
