Try to imagine, if you can a 28 coin Mint Set!! What would the price be?? We could see a 34 coin Mint Set in 2009!! Oh my poor pocket book!!!
If the Senate passes the extention of the quarters for the territories the 2009 set could go to 44 coins. 16 cents (The law allows two compositions for the comm cents) 2 nickels 2 dimes 12 quarers (five territories and Washington DC) 2 halves 10 dollars (4 president and Sacajawea)
Are the special composition cents going to be in mint sets with zinc cents? I thought the copper ones would be in proof sets only (or maybe silver proof sets only). They keep promoting the special composition cents (well kind of at least) but really who cares? To me 90% silver (currently 10X face value+) is a lot more exciting than almost 100% copper (not even 2X face value). They'll probably bring the price up for those cents but really they're worth almost nothing. It wouldn't surprise me if there was a regular proof set, a copper proof set, a silver proof set, and a silver and copper proof set where the copper sets were like $2-5 more than their non-copper counterparts. EDIT: While I'm at it, I would be in favor of the extra quarters in 2009. I've barely even heard of one of those territories so I think it deserves a quarter. The mint says they're educational but I think that's a lie. Everyone knows what Conncecticut is but they don't know what that one territory is (I can't even remember its name).
its a state quarter program last time ichecked they were not states have an issuew for them by all means but not as part of the state program but perhaps as part of a new series
They need to do something with dimes. They've done all the other coins (or will soon, with the penny).
