<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cringely, post: 790505, member: 22271&quot;]A recent discussion on the 1999-present silver proof sets set me to wondering how many proof sets have been cracked:hammer: open? For example, the 1999 silver proof set had a mintage of 804,565. How many of those are still intact?</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that I have had to crack open (or get from people who had cracked open) over 50 sets just to get the proof coins for my Dansco <i>Kennedy Half Dollars including proof-only issues</i> album</p><p>The idiot TV coin shopping shows push state quarter and dollar sets (among others) that include (cracked out) proof coins, although I&#039;m guessing that those couldn&#039;t account for more than tens of thousands of sets (but I could be wrong).</p><p><br /></p><p>So, are there any estimates as to the survival rates?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
