<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rono, post: 283281, member: 6492&quot;]Also, the US Mint shop...are their prices overpriced? And, where do people get sealed boxes of US Mint coins that have rolls in them? I see them on ebay, but I don&#039;t know where else to find them. Here is an example: <a href="http://ads.auctionads.com/pagead/link_3de4f43259e5d559ed07_3ef5d31f70f7d3553a98ea1bdbe079dd_http://cgi.ebay.com/SEALED-BOX-KANSAS-QUARTERS-US-MINT-ROLLS-P-D_W0QQitemZ250169781172QQihZ015QQcategoryZ41097QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://ads.auctionads.com/pagead/link_3de4f43259e5d559ed07_3ef5d31f70f7d3553a98ea1bdbe079dd_http://cgi.ebay.com/SEALED-BOX-KANSAS-QUARTERS-US-MINT-ROLLS-P-D_W0QQitemZ250169781172QQihZ015QQcategoryZ41097QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/SEALED-BOX-KANSAS-QUARTERS-US-MINT-ROLLS-P-D_W0QQitemZ250169781172QQihZ015QQcategoryZ41097QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hi Brennen,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are folks that think the mint is overpricing some of their coins, but in many cases, they&#039;re the only place you can buy them directly.&nbsp; For example, proof sets, mint sets, and proof eagles are sold initially from the mint during their particular year.&nbsp; Many dealers and individuals order multiple sets and then resell them on ebay or on TV.&nbsp; Occasionally the price will drop AFTER an item is issued (you see this is some older mint and clad proof sets), but normally, the best price you can ever get on an item is the new price from the mint.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However, I work under the assumption that the cheapest these items will ever be is from the mint direct.&nbsp; The 2007 silver proof set is $44.95 and everyone has to pay this to buy one at this time.&nbsp; Why would they ever want to sell if for less later?&nbsp; Demand has to be terrible for one of these mint issues to fall below its issue price.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>BTW, I saw a TV show selling 2007 silver proof sets last week for ~$80 - and the mint is still selling them for $45.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>peace,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>rono[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
