https://www.ebay.com/itm/144257585032 Twice the list says "Silver" but not on the PCGS holder. PCGS authenticator: https://www.pcgs.com/cert/42569953 So consensus is this is clad? Me: Is this the silver proof? You mention silver two times in your description, but the slab does not. Seller: Don’t have clad quarters
I'm a bit sketchy about this one,when it takes you to the coinfacts page it goes to the clad not silver for the coin.If I were you steer clear of this one the seller is trying to sneak in a few bills.
Down below he says that certification numbers may vary, so this may just be a stock photo of the design on a clad coin, but why bother?
This seller has 608 items for sale. He probably lists this stuff on the side in addition to doing other business. Not making excuses for him as it should be correct but I imagine some people on ebay list so much product, so quickly that there's bound to be mistakes in their favor or yours. They're pulling from hundreds if not thousands of stock photos. I've noticed you really have to pay attention as there's always auctions sprinkled in that are stock photos and not actually what you're buying.
Silver Proofs will only be found from broken mint sets. Probably not going to find a good deal on one.
There may have been a proof set of just quarters. But I don’t think there was a SILVER proof set of just quarters.
My clad proof set came with a lens of just quarters. I think the silver proof set would have had a separate lens as well. Either way a single proof quarter would have needed to be broken out of a set.
I think almost always the silver proof sets have a black internal holder. The lack of a 2020 silver quarters only would justify the high prices for single coins (as the 2021s are). I'll investigate more.
https://catalog.usmint.gov/america-...roof-set-20AQ.html?cgid=2020-product-schedule Well, that was easy The Mint sold it for $60 so $12 each would be reasonable. Sadly for me, I started my ATB Silver collection with buying two of the coins from this set. So afterwards it made sense to buy the 5-coin sets. So now I'm stuck with buying the American Samoa and Tallgrass coins which for some reason happen to have the highest prices.
Well here you can save a nickel from the mint set price and get all 5. Buy the set and keep the loose ones to sell later if you want. I never knew they sold them separately as in just quarters, and that's odd because I buy a silver proof set from the mint every year. I had a hard time with the 2021 set because of the price, but I really needed it so I bit the bullet.

Yeah, I now understand about the "newness" factor. Well...I did find https://zdcollectibles.com/products/ps2020qtrs-pl and ordered. Whether it's legit or not I will post back in this thread.
I ordered the ZDCollectibles set, $50 is a very good price. A few days later the order was canceled without reason.
