<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BioEtOH, post: 1335168, member: 34475&quot;]Btw, is anyone aware that, in addition to the Silver Proof Set we are discussing here, the 2010 CLAD Proof Set and the 2010 Uncirculated Mint Set may also be big winners as key dates! </p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, I said the &quot;C&quot; word and stand by it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Confession: also got another five sets for each of these two sets :yes:</p><p><br /></p><p>Quoted from Mint News blog (<a href="http://mintnewsblog.com/2011/12/last-chance-for-2010-annual-sets/):" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://mintnewsblog.com/2011/12/last-chance-for-2010-annual-sets/):" rel="nofollow">http://mintnewsblog.com/2011/12/last-chance-for-2010-annual-sets/):</a> </p><p>As of the most recent <a href="http://news.coinupdate.com/us-mint-sales-numismatic-gold-and-platinum-coins-rise-1131/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://news.coinupdate.com/us-mint-sales-numismatic-gold-and-platinum-coins-rise-1131/" rel="nofollow">sales report</a>, the 2010 Proof Set has sold <b>1,102,698</b>&nbsp; units. This may become the lowest mintage proof set since 1958 when&nbsp; 875,652 sets were sold. The 2010-dated set will also be significantly&nbsp; below recently issued sets. The mintage for the 2007 Proof Set was&nbsp; 1,702,116; the mintage for the 2008 Proof Set was 1,405,674; and the&nbsp; mintage for the 2009 Proof Set was 1,477,967.</p><p>&nbsp;The 2010 Uncirculated Mint Set has sold <b>582,539</b>&nbsp; units. This may become the lowest mintage mint set since 1962 when&nbsp; 385,285 sets were sold. Once again, the 2010-dated set will be&nbsp; significantly below recently issued sets. The mintage for the 2007 Mint&nbsp; Set was 895,628; the mintage for the 2008 Mint Set was 745,464; and the&nbsp; mintage for the 2009 Mint Set was 774,844.</p><p>&nbsp;Adding some additional intrigue to the 2010 Mint Set, it is the last&nbsp; to feature satin finish coins. This special finish was utilized by the&nbsp; US Mint for these annual sets and certain other numismatic products from&nbsp; 2005 to 2010. From 2011 onwards, the US Mint is using a brilliant&nbsp; finish, which is generally not differentiated from the finish used for&nbsp; circulating coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
