<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 827135, member: 13650&quot;]Another big factor was that for the first 2 or 3 years of them (maybe just the first 2 years)&nbsp; the only way to get the quarters sets was to purchase the whole set together.&nbsp;&nbsp; Shortly after, they started offering the quarters sets, with the regular annual set AND you could buy the silver quarter set individually.&nbsp; &nbsp; Something many people fail to look at.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;The 99 year was relatively low, but not that low.&nbsp; If a mintage of 800k+ really still demands $200+ for 5 silver quarters, than there&#039;s a boat load of commemoratives (at 500K mintages and much less) that are going for peanuts.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; To the OP, I think you gave a reasonable offer.&nbsp; &nbsp; I could have bought just the quarter set for $160 at a show last October.&nbsp; The dealer had two of them.&nbsp; But they had some haze on them and I passed.&nbsp;&nbsp; Many of them have some really bad haze.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you find a haze free set, it might be worth a premium.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; All of them still in the mint sets might go up again some day.&nbsp; I think a lot of people played the crack out game and tried to get PF70s at the TPGs.&nbsp;&nbsp; I see silver 1999 quarters in PF70 go for 2-$300 on ebay.&nbsp; &nbsp; At those rates, there eventually won&#039;t be many good quality ones left in their original mint plastic![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
