<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 2130012, member: 15929&quot;]Andrew, understand that the coins within these limited edition silver proof sets will NEVER show any marked investment potential. They could very well be losers in 50 years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Matter of fact, since 1968, proof coins in general have ALL lost value with the sole exception of the price of Silver. Silver, as a commodity, could also get back down to 2 or 3 bucks an ounce in which case, silver coins, in general, will lose value.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Collecting of Modern Proof coins, whether they are silver or not, should be based upon numismatic interest and NOT investment potential. For that matter, &quot;COINS&quot; should never be considered for &quot;investment potential&quot; since a majority of coins are actually &quot;investment losers&quot;. Just ask anybody that paid $50 for a raw 1950D Nickel or $30 for a 1970 US Mint Set or worse yet $200 for a 1973-S Silver Eisenhower Proof. At one time, these coins were in fact selling for those amounts under the veil of being &quot;Limited&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for your comment about the 300,000 plastic holders, I believe that the US Mint has already stated that the reason the 2014 Sets were not available until 2015 was because the could not secure the correct packaging.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
