<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 2674142, member: 22377&quot;]In terms of the OP question, my purchases have dropped. At one point I was one of the people that ordered a silver proof set every year. However, my collecting focus changed and I noticed most of these sets can be bought outside of the mint for lower prices (with some exceptions like the 2012 set).</p><p><br /></p><p>I also agree that the mint has been lacking in quality designs. Combine poor designs with higher prices, and that leads to lower sales. There have still been some good items released, but many of them are just reissues and not original items (like the 2014 Kennedy set: new finishes, but same design; also the 2016 centennial gold: different metal content, but basically a reissue of a classic design). The baseball coin in 2014 was one of the most innovative items from the mint and yet I believe they still messed up by having the same design across clad, silver, and gold.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
