<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AuSgPtHoarder, post: 834538, member: 9817&quot;]I assumed 2009 would be a great year for proof &amp; mint sets, due to the bad economy and the big increase in issue price.&nbsp; Haven&#039;t been able to find solid numbers for all of 2008 sets yet, but it looks like 2009 takes the rarity crown across all 3 (silver, clad &amp; mint) since the sets expanded in 1999.&nbsp; And that by quite a bit.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Silver Proof: 664,885 // Previous Low: 1999 - ~804,600; 2008 - ~774,874</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I list &#039;99 and &#039;08, as the &#039;99 had the &quot;added bonus&quot; of not having the state quarters sold separately as additional mintage, so in a way, its rarity is more striking than the &#039;08 </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Clad Proof: 1,446,410 // Previous Low: 2004 1,798,400 (Possibly 2008 was lower?)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Mint: 728,371 // Previous Low: 2004 ~842,000 (again, possibly 2008 was lower?)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://news.coinupdate.com/us-mint-sales-american-veterans-disabled-for-life-silver-dollars-0173/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://news.coinupdate.com/us-mint-sales-american-veterans-disabled-for-life-silver-dollars-0173/" rel="nofollow">http://news.coinupdate.com/us-mint-sales-american-veterans-disabled-for-life-silver-dollars-0173/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
