Message:: [QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 1320370, member: 18157"]Interesting! ...but they haven't updated the "Last Opportunity" page, yet. Last year, the 2011 Silver Quarter sets didn't come out until April...now they're coming out on Jan 17th. Last year, the full Silver Proof set came out on Jan 25th. The Mint is likely more prepared this year than last and will have everything ready to go on Jan 2nd. I suspect the Quarter production fell a bit behind last year and they needed all their Silver Quarter sets for the full Silver Proof sets...or the Quarter set packaging wasn't ready...who knows? I don't know why they wouldn't be released around the  same time as last year. My "guess" is that they we'll see the 2012 Silver Proof set announcement  in a week or so. On page 44 of the December 12th issue of Coin World, the Mint has a half page ad for the Proof (QB5) and Silver Proof (SV5) America the Beautiful™ Quarter sets. The bold headline says..."DON'T GET LEFT OUT!". Since you can still get these sets in the full Proof sets, my "guess" is that the full sets will be ending soon after the Quarter sets. ...but that's just a guess. It would be nice to know for sure. EDIT: I was looking at the 2012 schedule wrong...I thought it only went to Jan 23rd...but that's Feb 23rd!! If that schedule is correct, the Full Silver Proof sets will be delayed AT LEAST a month. That gives the 2010 sets new life as possibly being the KEY DATE!![/QUOTE]
