I gave a few of these to the kids for Chanukah but this one is mine. I noticed they are going for wild prices on the trade show floor. Don't ask me why. http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/01042009/2008_silver_proof_pres_obv.png http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/01042009/2008_silver_proof_pres_rev.png http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/01042009/2008_silver_proof_quart_silv_obv.png http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/01042009/2008_silver_proof_quart_silv_rev.png http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/01042009/2008_silver_proof_reg_obv.png http://www.mrbrklyn.com/coins/01042009/2008_silver_proof_reg_rev.png The Links are stunning images of this set, but large files. Firefox has an add on that downloads images like this called flashgot and worth using for something like this. Ruben
Not sure why prices would go up on these. 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.
Ruben: I don't know if there's anything going on, but the mint website still has Silver Proof sets available. The reg ones sold out a while ago, but the silvers seem to stgill be there. Maybe someone knows something that we don't.
I ordered an '08 Silver Proof Set from the mint just two days ago for issue price. I'm hoping I can get one more in the next month. Just hope they don't sell out too before then.
