Message:: [QUOTE="blsmothermon, post: 1058138, member: 26158"]When you say set...are they 3 mint sets? Is it one each from P, D, and S or are they 2 mint sets (P&D)? Some of the S proofs are worth some money. As you have been told and will continue to be told, HSN is one of the worst, if not the worst, place to buy coins. Tehy rank somewhere slightly below Chinese sellers on eBay. So, enough of running down HSN, they succeed at that daily. THE BIG problem with, let's call it investment, in state quarters is this. Millions upon millions of people saved these in MS grades. Tens of millions of each were produced. The classic market structure, as we all know, is supply and demand. The value of a given good will rise ONLY when demand exceeds supply. Look anywhere, HSN, late night infomercials, eBay, Littleton, etc. and you'll see supply is everywhere! These things are like the crabgrass of the numismatic lawn; a weed that is everywhere and in dang near impossible to get rid of. So that this isn't just based on my opinion, there are about a dozen sets on eBay right now, in Dansco albums. That doesn't count all of the other sets out there not in Dansco. When we look at completed listings on eBay, the P & D sets sell for about $50, and from what I can tell PDS sets sell for about $100. There are simply too many out there and I feel there will continue to be for there to ever be a significant premium on them.[/QUOTE]
