<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Speedie, post: 1287953, member: 28064&quot;]The lukewarm response to the 2011 issues did make me pause a little before submitting my order, however when/if the economy improves I think the secondary market for these will pick up from the present levels (both P and bullion versions). The pace of the releases this year after the 2010 fiasco has made it financially difficult for a lot of people who might otherwise want them to keep up. Assuming you got the 2010 bullion versions from the APs at the Mint mandated price ($950 for round numbers), and the 2010 P versions direct from the Mint ($285 each with shipping), that&#039;s a $2,375 investment just for the first year. Tack on another $900 or so for the 2011 bullion versions and $1,175 for the 2011 P versions (assuming today&#039;s prices) and you&#039;re at $4,450 spent in a single year. </p><p><br /></p><p>For me, this set stands as motivation to keep up with having quit smoking. When the 2010s were first released I figured that, for the same monthly outlay, after 11 years I could either have a) a complete set of these in bullion and P versions representing 560oz of silver to enjoy and leave to my heirs or b) a mountain of ashes and butts, and a bad cough. Easy choice.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sadly (well sort of) I also have a complete collection of ASEs in bullion, proof, and burnished, along with the 10th and 20th anniversary sets, sooooooo expensive week for me considering the 25th anniversary ASE set comes out on Thursday.</p><p><br /></p><p>My wallet will be happy to see the back of 2011 for sure![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
