<p>[QUOTE=&quot;namvet4, post: 825380, member: 23066&quot;]To your question: That price is high IMHO . . . </p><p>Yesterday I attended a monthly &quot;coin show&quot; advertised as &quot;40 tables&quot; which was really only about 24 dealers. Checked the prices offered on the 1999 US Mint Silver Proof set and was quoted $225.00 by two different dealers.</p><p>I did not make an offer since I am seeking two(2) 1999 sets. One dealer offered to supply me the second set at the same price, if interested.</p><p>The overall condition of the sets being shown was, at best, moderately worn. The exterior boxes had flap tears and scuff. The lenses showed evidence of moderate handling . . . Just about what I expected at this type of show. </p><p>(The &quot;dealers&quot; I inquired with were both honest and told me that this was not their primary source of income . . . They were part time dealers based on their full time hobby of collecting coins.)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If I am going to pay what I consider a premium, I am going to search for the Mint product in as close to original issue as possible...</p><p>just my p.o.v.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
