18 pc 2009 mint clad proof set and silver proof set might be very expensive. 14 pc 2008 clad proof set - $26.95 14 pc 2008 silver proof set - $44.95 let's presume the additional one clad proof quarter for the clad proof set, one silver proof quarter for the silver proof set, three lincoln proof cent each for both clad and silver sets. lastly. you figure it out how much clad proof set and silver proof set will cost you?.
my guess is conservatively around $30.95 to $33.95 for the clad proof set. and around $49.95 to $52.95 for the silver proof set.
if these sets come out. i will buy at least 20 set each. silver proof set and clad proof set. both composed of 18 coins. and contained only one time of six pc territorial quarters and four different designs of lincoln centennial cent. the quarters contained 90% silver while the cent contained 95% copper. don't miss it.
About $1500, probably as good a place to put it as anything else. Every time I load up on something it flops though. Will they have all Sac and presidential dollars?, that would be 21 coins: 4 pres dollars 4 Sac dollars 6 quarters 4 Lincolns 1 nickel 1 dime 1 half
here are the statistics for the annual sets: clad proof set: 2003 - 2,245,295 2004 - 1,804,396 2005 - 2,275,000 2006 - 2,000,428 2007 - 1,717,972 2008 - 1,405,674 2009 - silver proof set: 2003 - 1,040,425 2004 - 1,187,673 2005 - 1,069,679 2006 - 1,054,008 2007 - - 875,050 2008 - - 734,108 2009 - - every year we thought that its gonna be the lowest mintage. but each year it broke the low.
remember the cent is 97.5% zinc. only the sets will composed of 95% copper. like 5 pc set with lincoln silver dollar. clad proof set, silver proof set. and maybe the mint uncirculated set. the mint miss the 4 pc lincoln cent set.
If the current mintage trend continues, these sets as well as the mint sets may be a descent investment. It's a better gamble than the stock market, that's for sure!
now is the time to focus on clad proof set and silver proof set. the cent is up so high. and it is just a 97.5% zinc. what about the 95% cent?. see this two types of set to go up too.
Ayn timing on the release of these sets? I realize that you can get the silver set from the mint right now but I doubt that it has the four penny designs in there which is a nice bonus.
20 of each set... WOW.... Are you a. Really into Proof Sets b. Speculating c. giving them as gifts I will most likley get 2 of each, but 20... Wow... I ordered (2) 2009 Pres proof sets as soon as they were avalible, then a few months later set up subscriptions for the Mint to send me qty=2 of a few things, including the pres proofs... I figured since we were so far past the release of them that the Mint would not send this years (2009s) but a day or so I got an e-mail saying they just shipped them... I was going to send them back, however, I think I'll keep them and give them to my Neice and Nephew for Christmas Presents... I gave them Mint Boxed S.A.E.s for their Birthdays... So, why not something coin related for Christmas too...
Whew! I hav'nt even ordered these sets yet and my wallet is already crying ENOUGH! But if you think it's expensive or hard to keep up with our own issues, just take a look at what the Royal Canadian Mint offers every year. They must really be hurting up north.:high5:
