Hyper-inflation has come to the United States Mint

The US Mint has raised prices on all items. The price increases are shocking. Here are a few examples.

Proof American Silver Eagle, was $95, now $173. An increase of 82%.
US Proof Set, was $40.25, now $107. An increase of 166%.
US Uncirculated Mint Set, was $33.25, now $124.50. An increase of 274%
Morgan Proof silver coins, was $95, now $173. An increase of 82%.
US Silver Proof Set, was $150, now $245. An increase of 63%.

The above are the 5 top selling items for 2025. All clad and silver items have price increases. I understand that the silver items need to move in step with the silver price, but I do not understand the large price increases for the non-precious metal items.

End of the road for me and them.....at least till their stuff comes back down to earth. Till then I'll concentrate on after market values (if any materialize) and my classic commemoratives........

 

That's wild. The mint reminds me of how many thrift stores have gone. Instead of fair rates, they have gone completely greedy.

 

I haven’t bought from them in years due to over inflated prices. The mint raises their prices more than the government raises my social security income. And they still tax me in that as well.

 

I quit buying from them long ago. However I did look to see the price on the silver proof set because of our 250 year anniversary but quickly decided I can do without... $245.. ouch!

 

I can take a dealer tacking on an extra $35 on a (50 cent) commem I'm buying but I choke at the thought of paying hundreds more on mint products this year. My collecting endeavor has drastically shifted away from moderns. It's a hard decision to make but the Mint has now just outpriced themselves in my estimation.
