<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 898943, member: 307&quot;]I agree that the Mint Sets may be sought after for the bronze cents and that the Silver Proof Sets will likely have a much smaller mintage (than the regular set) as well because the set is cost prohibitive for many collectors to speculate. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, let there be no mistake as to why the 1999 Silver Proof Set has such a high value. There was a household limit of 2 sets for the Silver Proof Set in 1999. The dealers (nor anyone else) could not buy them in bulk, and therefore the distribution is much more scattered. If a dealer has a 1999 Silver Proof Set, it was likely bought from a collector and therefore the dealer paid a hefty premium for the set.</p><p><br /></p><p>That is the primary reason for the price of the 1999 Silver Proof Set being so expensive. Not mintage, not the newness of the statehood quarters, but merely the lack of bulk sales to dealers. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would never expect any other Silver Proof Set to garner such a high price tag, and if it did, I wouldn&#039;t expect the price to hold over time like the 1999.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
