At current sales rates, it looks like sales of the <b>2011 Silver Proof sets will be even lower...around 550,000</b>. You&#039;re looking at the past...in the future!!! It&#039;s like living in 1915 and knowing you have a chance to pick up Unc rolls of 1916-d Mercury dimes <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> (well, not exactly, but you get the point). Twenty (20) years from now you&#039;ll be asking yourself, &quot;What the heck was I thinking when I passed up on the 2010/2011 Silver Proof sets?&quot;.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Think about it...if the price of silver drops significantly, sales of future sets will go back up into the Millions. If the price of silver continues to go up, future proof set sales will likely continue to fall...but then you&#039;ll make $$ on the price of silver. Either way, you WIN!!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Silver Proof set sales as of <b>01 November, 2011</b>...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; 2010 Silver Proof Set sales: <b>468 </b>for a total of 575,506</p><p>&nbsp;2011 Silver Proof Set sales: <b>4,961</b> for a total of 481,153</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; The lowest mintage of any modern Silver Proof set was 1995 (679,984).&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The average weekly sales figures for 2010 sets needed by the end of&nbsp;&nbsp; the&nbsp; year (<b>8 weeks&nbsp; left</b>) to equal that mintage is...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp; 2010 Silver Proof Set: (679,984 – 575,506) / 8 = 13,060</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The average weekly sales figures for 2011 sets needed by the end of January 2011 (<b>12 weeks&nbsp; left</b>) to equal that mintage are...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;2011 Silver Proof Set: (679,984 – 481,153) / 12 = 16,569</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;<p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">&nbsp;</span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p></blockquote><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
