[QUOTE="bgarg, post: 203306, member: 1876"]Well, I don't have my Krause books with me at this time. So, can't give you those stats from book at this moment. But will share some of my experience. The worst example I have seen is for the 28 piece Olympic silver set issued by Canada. The issue price was $650 for the set and it had approx 30 Oz silver with $210 Canadian face value. In late 2001, during a local show a dealer wanted to sell these sets just for Canadian exchange rate ($180 at that time) and nobody wanted them. He had couple of offers for $120 for the set (as silver was $4 an Oz in those days). At the end of the show, I asked him his best price for the 4 sets he had. He said he will sell those 4 sets for $600. I purchased them and since then they are part of my collection. Now even with silver $13 an Oz today, one can get the same set for close to $400 (much less then the issue price). Regards Ballabh Garg[/QUOTE]
