Message:: [QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 1248297, member: 18157"]1995 Silver Proof sets aren't what I would call "rare"...afterall,  680,000 of them were produced (between the Silver Proof and Silver  Premier Proof sets). I use the 1995 set as a benchmark because it  currently has the lowest mintage of any of the modern Silver Proof sets  so far...it's the "Key Date". The prices listed earlier for the  1995 Silver Proof Dime and Half Dollar are from the NGC Price guide for  PF70 (NGC graded) coins; not all sets contain PF70 coins and there are  costs involved in the grading process. $65  seems like a reasonable price for the 1995 Silver Proof set ($21/set  new). Prices for the 1995 set has come down quite a bit from its peak  and may come down even further if either the 2010 or 2011 set replaces  it as the "Key Date". Typically, low mintage sets enjoy a surge  of interest as folks find they have to buy theirs on the secondary  market. Also, since it's a low mintage, there's a dash to find the best  specimens and have them graded. As unsearched sets become difficult to  find, prices generally drift lower. That's why some folks  (Flippers), who are lucky enough to buy a hot product that everyone else  missed, flip their product during the height of the frenzy to get the  best price.[/QUOTE]
