<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 8384608, member: 15588"]I used to purchase the silver proof sets from the US Mint back in the State Quarter program days, but when they began to pile up in my closet I sold them all at what ended up being <i>exactly</i> the right time. I certainly wouldn't make that kind of money off of them now. With a few exceptions, the same seems true for a lot of mint products: they experience an initial fervent hype upon first release, then interest gradually fades, especially when something else comes along. About a year later, one can sometimes find them for under issue price on the secondary market. Again, that's not always the case, but the initial hype usually produces the highest prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>The last mint product I purchased was the 2019 Apollo 11 commemorative. I think they did a decent job with that one. So far, nothing else in their offerings has grabbed my attention enough to seal a deal. We'll see. I would really like one of the Negro Leagues $5 gold pieces, but the high premiums just make me nauseous.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1487972[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1487973[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
