<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mikenoodle, post: 753102, member: 307&quot;]yes, Carl, purchasing from the Mint usually seems to be the best way, but remember this:</p><p><br /></p><p>prior to 1999, the proof sets&#039; prices didn&#039;t often change. It was usually cheaper to buy them from a dealer because the dealer bought them in bulk (at a small discount) and you could pay about the same and get them right away. In 1999, the Mint ended the bulk purchase program (at least as far as I know) and dealers now pay the same as you or me. So currently, you can buy from the Mint for the same as a dealer and probably pay the same amount.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the future, you can buy Proof Sets going forward, but with no Statehood Quarters to drive collector demand, you may end up tying your money up in sets that remain flat in value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
