<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 904293, member: 24633&quot;]Yakpoo,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There was no &quot;one per household&quot; limit on the 1999 Silver Proof Set. I bought multiples of them for myself as well as others for friends who didn&#039;t have an account with the Mint.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Berneck,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The biggest reason for the huge jump in price for the 1999 Silver Proof Set was the fact that the States Quarters Program drew millions upon millions of new collectors into the hobby. Unfortunately, many of these new collectors did not get started until after the 1999 set was no longer available. It simply boiled down to the law of supply and demand. There were only 804,565 sets available for millions of collectors.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m not sure why the 2001 Silver Proof Set is as high as it is, but if I had to make a guess, I would probably think that it had something to do with the New York States Quarter. New York City, alone, has a population of about 8 million residents; the Statue of Liberty has always been a popular collectible, and there were only 889,697 sets produced.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
