<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1871459, member: 15929&quot;]I changed my eBay search to simply 2005 Mint Set and it shows 229 completed listings in the past 15 days. The typical price is between $5 and $6.50.</p><p><br /></p><p>All it takes is a mintage of 30 or 40 thousand &quot;collector&quot; coins and any premiums associated with those coins simply goes away in 1 or 2 years. But 500,000? No way. any gains will be registered in cents not dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>I paid $16.95 for the first year of Satin Finish coins in a Mint set and today, that same set can be had for $5 - $7. That&#039;s NOT the direction these are supposed to go in.</p><p><br /></p><p>What about the low mintage 2010 Sets?</p><p><br /></p><p>I paid $34.94 for these from the US Mint. Today they can be had for between $20 and $35. Again, not what I&#039;d consider a good investment. Even over the long run.</p><p><br /></p><p>But, folks are certainly welcome to chase their &quot;dreams&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the OP, shop around on eBay. You&#039;ll find what you need at a price you like but you have to remember that the later year mint sets have more coins in them which accounts for the higher prices. (Just look at what I paid for the 2010&#039;s from the Mint.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
