<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1288413, member: 22143&quot;]Yes indeed.&nbsp; A nice offering from the mint that is often overlooked.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#039;s a good way to acquire very high quality, very liquid, silver at low premiums.&nbsp; The amount is small enough where you can dispose of them without any reporting obligations.&nbsp; They are also nice to look at.&nbsp; The mint does a good job on these proofs.&nbsp;&nbsp; However, </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure there are people who are collecting the ATB series of quarters but it remains to be seen how many.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think the US Mint (rather Congress) jumped on this too soon since it was right after the state quarter program.&nbsp; &nbsp; A lot of people also buy these sets simply because if you pay attention to it and silver prices, it&#039;s possible to purchase them at close to spot.&nbsp; There have been several topics here on that.&nbsp;&nbsp; The Mint will let you buy as many as you like and shipping is an amazing low $4.95 and no fees for credit cards.&nbsp; If the price of the set gets close to spot prices, there is no other deal that compares for buying high quality US mint silver.&nbsp; &nbsp; As a comparison, most on-line dealers are charging between 14% and 18% premium to buy a non-proof ASE with a CC. </p><p><br /></p><p>IMO, there isn&#039;t going to be much of a numismatic value on these quarters proof sets.&nbsp; Increases in value will come from rises in silver.&nbsp; &nbsp; There are a lot of them produced.&nbsp; As for the complete silver proof set, the big value there beyond the silver quarters are in the dime and 1/2 (as mentioned above).&nbsp; That is the only way to get the silver dime and 1/2 dollar and many people continue to collect these in the PM versions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
