<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 904512, member: 18157&quot;]Thanks schatzy...but the reference you give says that the Proof set had an original limit of two (2) sets per household and was being raised to seven (7). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It then goes on to say that the rise in the limit would delay the release of the <b>SILVER</b> proof sets by a month...which would remain at a limit of two (2) per household. Am I reading that wrong? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Perhaps they raised the limit on Silver Proof sets sometime after the initial release (I wasn&#039;t there; I don&#039;t know). In any event, I think MikeNoodle&#039;s central point is well taken...<b>greater distribution creates upward pressure on prices</b>. :thumb:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><b>EDIT:</b> I see that the Mint eventually did remove the two (2) set per household limit, but it wasn&#039;t until <a href="http://www.usmint.gov/pressroom/index.cfm?action=press_release&amp;id=107" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.usmint.gov/pressroom/index.cfm?action=press_release&amp;id=107" rel="nofollow">15 Dec 1999</a>, after 58% of the sets had been sold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
