<p>[QUOTE=&quot;beef1020, post: 1416719, member: 24544&quot;]I think the high price is discouraging a lot of young collectors, but I think it has more to do with the price of silver/gold then with any specific policy by the mint.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>For example, I started seriously collecting in the last 2 years, at which point silver and gold had already seen a huge run-up in price.&nbsp; I realized pretty quick that it would be extremely expensive for me to fill previous holes for these proof silver, or ASE type collections, and I just did not see much bang for the buck in it, especially as I believe both prices will come down in the future.&nbsp; Now I realize the last point is debatable, but that&#039;s not my point.&nbsp; The point is, if you started buying these when silver and gold were $6 and $300 there is a certain amount of path dependence which makes you buy the new ones, although you grumble.&nbsp; But for a new collector looking to get into these series the that grumble is a major stumbling block.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
