I think that the US Mint should discontinue the clad proof set and keep only the silver proof set. Also, I think that the clad uncirculated set should be discontinued. In its place, there should be a silver uncirculated set and a silver reverse proof set introduced. The silver reverse proof set would be struck at San Francisco, the silver uncirculated set would be struck at Denver, while the silver proof set would be struck at Philadelphia. I look forward to seeing further input![/QUOTE]
