<p>[QUOTE="Thelionwarrior, post: 1979252, member: 39179"]Well.... what really came to my mind was the 2012 silver proof sets. I don't remember the exact number but something less than 400 thousand minted.... over time I'm wondering if the same thing will happen to them? Now I happened to get mine from the mint. I had just started collecting coins in 2012. Not too long ago I discovered one of my dollars has something like a small wire or something on it. Not sure cause I'm not going to break it open. But .... being my first silver proof set ever bought and the first year I started it holds probably more value to me than anyone else right now... anyways I'm curious as to how many 2012 silver proof sets will be available 10 years from now... and as I'm trying to collect the rest when I can afford them how many of the older ones will actually be available when I go to buy them since people are tearing them apart. I really don't particularly care as much about graded coins as I do in having a set of the specimens for that year. Seems like a lot of people are making money off of the graded coins but I kinda would like to have one from every year that has silver in it if possible... the breaking up of these coins may make this a bigger challenge for me in the years to come and make it more expensive to get actual sets.... :/ while I wish I could afford to go out and buy one of each right now, that is certainly not an option and I may need to change my strategy....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
