<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 483890, member: 13650&quot;]It&#039;s common for proof and mint sets to sell for less than the mint issued them.&nbsp; I saw a show on tv that was trying to sell a proof set from the 70s for about 50% less than mint issue price.&nbsp;&nbsp; Just check out the back of a Red Book some time.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I think the profit margin will be drastically less because as what someone else said, the state quarters are hot.......right now.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; You would have to be under the impression that they will be hotter in the future once people are used to them and there&#039;s no longer any publicity or focus on them, for them to increase in value from what they are now.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Either the 99 set is way over priced or the 2000 set is way under priced.&nbsp; It costs me nothing to wait and see.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; The 2000 silver set had only 160,856 more sets issued than the 99, yet can still be had for nearly issue price.&nbsp;&nbsp; While the 99 quarter set alone is going for 10x issue price of the entire 99 set.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; How can there be this much discrepancy?&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Maybe investors bought up huge amounts of the first year issued and are sitting on them hoping to get rich?&nbsp; &nbsp; Well, as far as I&#039;m concerned, they can sit on them until they come down to around a hundred bucks.&nbsp;&nbsp; Which is still probably too high.&nbsp; &nbsp; If a 200% profit isn&#039;t enough they can sit on them the rest of their lives for all I care.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I guess I should apologize for not being in the hobby in 1999 and buying mine as a collector, at a sane price.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
