[QUOTE="jimmyrules712, post: 588448, member: 10367"]For my 50 state quarters collection I am collecting the silver proofs only for each state. I still need the 1999 silver proof set, which is selling ridiculously high. If you can find it from a dealer they seem to be charging around $280 give or take. I watched 2 auctions on ebay that ended for $215 and $225 each for the set. Well anyway I found someone on craigslist selling the set in my local city. They wanted $220, I offered $200, they counteroffered $210. This is a lot to pay for a proof set but to complete this collection I need it. I guess the questions I need to answer are: #1) Is that a pretty good deal for the set right now. and #2) Is there any reason to wait on buying this or is the price expected to not change much? Please share your thoughts. And I know having pictures would be helpful. I haven't seen it myself yet but of course I would inspect it inhand before paying up, so lets just assume it is an average proof set.[/QUOTE]
