<p>[QUOTE=&quot;World Colonial, post: 2470872, member: 78153&quot;]Looking at lots on eBay, it can&#039;t be the Olympic coins because the difference in the price between the prestige and regular silver set is a lot more than the cost of the Olympic half and dollar.</p><p><br /></p><p>My guess is that it&#039;s one of two things which mean exactly the same thing.&nbsp; I remember all prestige sets being expensive for several years after issuance, probably because novices were fooled by the supposedly &quot;low&quot; mintage which is just a difference in the packaging since the actual mintages for the coins in it are a large multiple.&nbsp; My recollection is that the sets have been cheaper for awhile but maybe I&#039;m wrong about it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second, the price might be inflated just because it used to be due to this perception of &quot;scarcity&quot;, just as with many &quot;key&quot; dates which are known to be common now.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
