<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tommyc03, post: 2674763, member: 17665&quot;]It gets pretty expensive after awhile considering that you have to pay for both a regular Proof set and a silver Proof set to get all the coins you need and end up with over lapping issues that are duplicates. Similar to cable TV. You only need and want certain channels but get a lot of what you don&#039;t want and need and still have to pay for all of it. And it tells a story that the Mint still has issues from 2011 for sale. These should have been destroyed. And lackluster sales in general of Mint &amp; Proof sets show a decline in interest. If I were to continue my purchases it would be on the secondary market after a couple of years had passed. Taking a look at these items for sale in private ads in Numismatic News tells me I am shelling out a lot of money for most that go way down in price after they have been around for awhile. Remember the high price of the 1999 Silver Proof set which got up to around $300.00 at one point? I sold the only one I had ordered for that amount and went without them in my albums. Later I purchased it back for $85.00 and completed my set. I think the same will eventually happen with the 2012 coins which are now way to high in price considering their mintages. I feel much better with a hose in my hand when starting a fire, I&#039;m in control.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
