<p>[QUOTE=&quot;c sahar, post: 3982785, member: 109745&quot;]I would not buy a Limited Edition Silver Proof Set. All you need to do is go to the US Mint site and see the Bundle they offer - ASE +Silver Proof= $111 rounded up. The limited Edition is about $150 (almost same thing except you get with the bundle a few clad proof coins with the Silver set+ASE). Why would one pay for something that is &quot;limited edition&quot; when all the stuff is available in the unlimited mintage Silver Proof Sets and unlimited mintage ASE?&nbsp; See <a href="https://catalog.usmint.gov/american-eagle-2019-one-ounce-silver-proof-coin-19EA.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://catalog.usmint.gov/american-eagle-2019-one-ounce-silver-proof-coin-19EA.html" rel="nofollow">https://catalog.usmint.gov/american-eagle-2019-one-ounce-silver-proof-coin-19EA.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>And it is always sobering to look at the Blue Book to check what buyers will pay on average for a silver set - with the exception of possibly 2012 most modern silver proof sets will be bought by dealers between $7 - 20 depending on condition and other factors that may have made that proof set a little more valuable than other years. </p><p><br /></p><p>If I were to spend money on silver, the lowest mark-up seems to be the 5 oz bullion ATB rounds - about double the market rate for silver as of Jan 2020. Silver proofs have a higher mark-up but I enjoy receiving a nice proof of the penny, nickel and Native American Dollar. Just wish they would add the Innovation Dollar without selling the AI&#039;s separately and what I think is too high a cost.</p><p><br /></p><p>For my budget and desire for variety will likely save my money and get 2 silver proof sets or a proof set with ASE and a proof of AI&#039;s with maybe one or two of the AI rev proof&nbsp; - it all depends on my target budget and what circumstances will allow (much of my income comes as a freelancer).&nbsp; IF I have extra money to spare will get the ABT Uncirculated Quarter set&nbsp; because it does a great job with its brief summary of the National Park depicted in a reasonably compact packaging and, if fortunate, you might get some very nice mint specimens.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
