[QUOTE="RaceBannon, post: 1099154, member: 25357"]I've been looking at prices for US Mint proof sets lately, they are going for next to nothing. Most of the sets I've been checking out were the Proof sets minted from 1999-2008 that had the statehood quarters in them. Right now most years are selling for far less than what it cost to buy them from the US Mint when they were issued. By far less, I mean about one third to one half the original issue price. Even the silver proof sets are basically selling for melt. Does anyone have any idea why they are so cheap? In my opinion they are beautifully struck, nice cameo proof coins. I always thought that proof sets were one of the better products put out by the US Mint. Obviously the market disagrees with me. :confused:[/QUOTE]
