<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1416879, member: 26302&quot;]Very true. </p><p><br /></p><p>To the OP, I know its common to compare things versus melt in this hobby, but a proof coin has a lot of extra expenses associated with it. If its not worth $30 extra for the coin above and beyond PM value, don&#039;t buy it. I bet you, though, if silver went to $100 an ounce the mints price would probably be around $130, and if silver were $1 an ounce their price would be $31. They are simply charging roughly $30 to make a proof, so any relation to PM value is simply an accident. </p><p><br /></p><p>Again, I am not disagreeing in the least that its fairly steep, especially considering what usually happens in the aftermarket. The only thing I have ever bought direct from the mint was the 25th anniversary sets. The reason I bought them was due to the nice people here letting me know it was a good deal. TY all btw. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
