<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TopcatCoin, post: 1068169, member: 22746&quot;]Thanks Ken.&nbsp; I agree with you about luck here.&nbsp; The real winners of this set were those that purchased it directly from the Mint in 1999.&nbsp; I did not get back into collecting until 2007 so missed out on it.&nbsp; Nobody knows what the future holds for these sets.&nbsp; I took a chance that they would not drop too much more.&nbsp; You never know...they may continue to decrease or perhaps increase again.&nbsp; As you well know, these were widely distributed back in 1999 such that dealers did not get the quantity they desired.&nbsp; Soon after, interest in the State Quarter program increased and these sets skyrocketed in price.&nbsp; I am thinking that due to the current state of the economy (and the completion of the State Quarters program), some folks now need to sell theirs off for the cash or have simply lost interest in them when the program ended (perhaps received them as gifts or bought them as a novelty back in 1999).&nbsp; Interestingly, I have been tracking these sets for a while and can tell you that they do sell rather quickly when auctioned or even slightly discounted.&nbsp; This tells me that there are many collectors out there who may have missed out initially but still want the set.&nbsp; In other words, I think demand is still strong for this set.</p><p><br /></p><p>Happy New Year to you and yours! :cheers: <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>TC[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
