Yes the prices are high, but the chances that you get a proof error of any type in the secondary market are slim to none. Sometimes you will see folks bring proof sets into dealers for a pittance, and as soon as the seller leaves, the jeweler's loop comes out and the search is on. There was a man who said to me that he had every proof and uncirculated set issued since 1945, and three of each. I offered to purchase, and he would not sell them. He was either just talking or knew what he had. If you put unopened boxes of sets of proofs away and wait, something will happen in the market- doubled dies will appear, or rare error strikes, like the Platinum recently- that reward you. I put a box of Presidential proof sets away in the same week that there was a segment error found in the Proofs. One thing is for sure though, you are NOT GONNA GET this year's silver proof set cheaper next year. Or any other silver proof coin, for that matter. Proof and mint sets are worth it.[/QUOTE]
