<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dave92029, post: 1099904, member: 26916&quot;]A couple of months ago when the price of silver began going ballistic, and I refused to pay the premium that was being places on ASE&#039;s, so I began to buy Silver Proof Sets (2002 - 2007) on eBay for below melt value. </p><p><br /></p><p>The (2002 -2007) Silver Proof Sets were the least expensive way to buy silver. </p><p><br /></p><p>The Mint has raised the price on the Silver Proof Sets since 2008 to the point that I will not buy them any more. This is a shame because I really like the look of these sets. I don&#039;t think that I will live long enough to be able to sell these sets and recover the Mint&#039;s premiums.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The Mint&#039;s current pricing with very high premiums is creating very low mintages for popular sets and chasing away new collectors. When young collectors find that the sets that they purchased 5, 10, and 20 years ago are worth less than they paid for them, they will stop collecting. The Mint is shooting themselves in the foot with their current premiums. The Mint&#039;s current pricing is reducing the number of collectors. Maybe the New Director of the Mint will fix this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
