Message:: [QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 903882, member: 24633"]I have a few comments about the silver statehood quarters: 1) I assume they are proof quarters since that is the only way to get the silver quarters. Are all of them in red & white packaging from the U.S. Mint? 2) Separate Silver Proof Sets for the States Quarters were not produced from 1999-2003. If the ones your friend has (2000, 2002 & 2003) are in blue & white packaging, they are clad quarters, not silver. The only way you could get the silver proof quarters for those years would be to buy the complete sets which included the half dollar, dime, nickel and cent (1999) and all those plus the golden dollar for the years 2000-2003. 3) If it is your intent to try to complete the set of silver proof states quarters, you should be aware that the 1999 set will cost in the neighborhood of $300 because no one in their right mind is going to break up the 9-coin set just to sell you the quarters. One more thing, you would be wasting your money buying the MS70 SAE's unless he is going to give you a very substantial discount. Since he was sucked into that deal in the first place, I doubt that your friend would be very happy selling them for such a loss. Just out of curiosity, can you even tell the difference between an MS70 and an MS69? If you can't, it is just one more reason why you shouldn't buy them. Chris Chris[/QUOTE]
