<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 162531, member: 66&quot;]The 2004&#039;s are more expensive for a very silly reason.</p><p><br /></p><p>A lot of peoplewho want to get proof and mint sets to give for Christmas presents normally wait until the end of November to order them so that the money isn&#039;t tied up all year.&nbsp; Well in 2004 ain either late Sept or early Oct the mint announced that they were going to cut off sales early.&nbsp; So everyone who was connected news wise simply ordered their Christmas presents early.&nbsp; But some people didn&#039;t get the word and there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth when they found they couldn&#039;t order their sets.&nbsp; Then they all ran out to try and buy 2004 sets for Christmas.&nbsp; This sudden demand caused a jump in the price.&nbsp; Now the actual mintage of the sets is pretty much the same for 2004 as in other years, but that price bump has been the reason for the mantra &quot;the 2004s are higher because they cut off the sales early&quot; ever since.&nbsp; And so the 2004&#039;s have stayed higher because of that perceived but non-existant scarcity[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
