Message:: [QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 898579, member: 18157"]I like the silver set and (as TopCat pointed out) the Unc set. They're not "real" uncs..."satin finish proofs" is a better description. They're 95% copper and unique to the Unc set. Whereas the 95% copper proofs are sold in both the silver/clad proof sets and individually. There will likely be less than 800,000 of the 95% copper Unc cents sold so those cents should appreciate nicely over time (imo). Plus, the Unc set has twice the coins for half the price of the silver proof set. The silver proof set should have low sales, also. However, they likely won't appreciate as much as the 1999 sets (imo) due to the fact that the proof minting process changed beginning around 2004. They now use lazers to apply the frosting to the devices.  I believe the new methods produce a greater percentage of the high end coins. I think I got the numbers from the PCGS/NGC pop reports, but I'm heading to the Nat's/O's game and don't have time to double check. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
