<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 2522260, member: 17665"]Once again, I am in agreement with Chris. We have both been around long enough to know that modern mint and proof sets do not generally hold any value and with only a few exceptions. Their prices today after holding on to them for many years in OGP makes one want to cringe. I long ago gave up buying multiple sets and only buy one of each to break out for the Dansco albums to keep them up to date. The end of the current ATB series is the end of my buying these sets from the Mint. The only set that has held up at all is the 1999 silver set which is currently at around $85.00, but did make it up to $300.00 and then crashed. The 2012 silver set is way overpriced and I predict this too will eventually burn down in the next couple of years. Buying any sets on the secondary market instead of the Mint almost guarantees they have been cherry picked for MS70's, so I would not recommend that either. JMHO. As an aside, I am only referring to mint & proof sets, not commemorative or special issue sets.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
