<p>[QUOTE=&quot;thedabbler, post: 1253303, member: 32800&quot;]Since I&#039;m more interested in bullion than numismatics, I don&#039;t know which numismatic sites are going to be good.&nbsp; The two sites I know of are EBay and the US Mint (<a href="http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&amp;storeId=10001&amp;productId=15253&amp;langId=-1&amp;parent_category_rn=10211" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&amp;storeId=10001&amp;productId=15253&amp;langId=-1&amp;parent_category_rn=10211" rel="nofollow">http://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&amp;storeId=10001&amp;productId=15253&amp;langId=-1&amp;parent_category_rn=10211</a>).&nbsp; The US Mint is charging $64.95.&nbsp; Shipping is $4.95, but you can buy several sets (up to 10?) and only pay $4.95 for shipping.&nbsp; In order to decide which is best, you need to decide why you are buying them and how many sets you want.&nbsp; If you are buying them for the bullion value, and don&#039;t care about the numismatic value, and only want one set, EBay is probably the best (on the other hand, in that case, you probably should buy the silver quarter proof set, and not get all the extra non-silver coins).&nbsp; If you are buying a lot of sets or care about the numismatic value (if, for example, you want the proof silver dime and half-dollar to sell to a collector), it would be better to buy from the mint:&nbsp; EBay isn&#039;t that much lower, and all the additional shipping will end up costing you more.&nbsp; In addition, most of the sets on EBay will have been picked over, so you aren&#039;t likely to get the higher graded coins (which is also probably why it costs less on EBay).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
