Silver Proof Set Mintages vs Market Value (1999-2013)

I guess it was a good learning experience though. Now I only buy what I want or like and I really love those coins now and most of those have really went up in value. I don't get into the habit of putting together sets unless I happen to run across hole fillers

I always find charts like this very interesting and I appreciate the research work very much.

 

The mint stopped selling the 2016 clad and silver proof sets this week. Time for an update in the dataset. The sales volume was down about 18,000 units in 2016 versus 2015. Thus, 2016 has displaced 2015 as the lowest selling year on record. Base on sales to date and the general trend, I'm projecting a sales volume of about 350,000 units in 2017. The sellout of the 2016 set has given a bump to value of the set, which is currently selling for over $70. The 2012 set continues to hold its value at $180. A look at the updated dataset.



Perhaps a chart:

 

But, don't forget, the 2015 silver proof coins have lower mintages than the 2016's since there was no 2015 LESPS made. At this point the 2016's have higher mintages than the 2015's and the 2016 LESPS is still for sale at the mint.

 

LESPS is an acronym for 'redundant'.........

 

I thought it was an island in Greece...

 

Back of my mind too Mike.

 

As the year comes to an end, I thought it a good time to update the mintage and market value of the silver proof sets (1992 to present). The 2012 set continues to hold its value while the 2016 set has crept up in value a little. The rest of the sets have not appreciated. The 1999 set continues to fall in value with time. I'm guessing that the 2017 set will end its life at about 350,000, lowest mintage since last year.

Still Selling 2017 Silver Proof Set

 

As we ring in the new year, I thought it time for another update of the silver proof sets. The values of the sets seem to have remained pretty steady despite the decrease in value of silver in 2018. The 2012 and 2016 sets did see some reduction in value, but are still the stars of this show. The 1999 set seems to have found its home at about $70. As the 2017 set has taken its home as the lowest mintage sold out set, I'm guessing that it will increase in value for awhile before it settles back to a lower value.

Wow, if you had one of each you would have made $16!!!

 

Roll it back to 1992. Were all losing money on these

 

Whatever happened to chris. Its been awhile

 

Now i call that a long term investment

 

Chris sold his silver proof sets and bought a condo in Newark

 

He's back. Miraculous re-appearance.........

 

That's the last place he'd be seen, unless you mean Delaware..........

 

With the release of the 2020 silver proof set, I thought it time for another update of the silver proof sets (value vs mintage) from 1992 to present. The values of the sets seem to have risen since the last update in January 2019. It is probably related to the price of silver, which went up 15% in 2019. The 2012 set did see some reduction in value, but is still the star of this show. The 1999 set continues it decent and now sits at just $65. The 2018 set has the lowest mintage of any set since 1992 at just 332,274. It will be interesting to see if its value increases with time. The mintage of 2019 set rebounded from the nadir of 2018 probably as a result of the 2019-W reverse proof cent and the increase in silver content of the silver coins to 99.9%. The COVID-19 may play some havoc with the 2020 release and sales but the W reverse proof nickel may help save the day for this set. The price increase to $63.25 is unsettling in these troubled times. A table and chart for your viewing pleasure:

 

Following the numbers from 2014 forward, had the Mint not included a West Point cent the mintage would almost certainly have dropped for 2019 below 300,000. This leaves no doubt as to the mint's intent on driving sales upwards. What amazes me the most is the cost of that 2012. Why?? No longer a lowest mintage, the price has dropped but not enough to justify. Still way over valued.

 

As 2021 begins, I thought it time for another update of the silver proof sets (value vs mintage) from 1992 to present. The values of the sets have risen with the nearly 50% rise in silver prices over the past year. Many of the silver sets from 2000-2008 are selling for intrinsic value. The 2020 set has displaced the 2018 set with the lowest mintage at just 313,387. The 2012 set did see a slight reduction in value, but is still the star of this show. The unexpected unavailability of the 2020 set and the likely early sellout has created a sudden demand. It is currently selling for $140 on the bay. It probably doesn't hurt to have a enhanced reverse proof nickel is included in the set. The 1999 set has stabilized at $68 after its continual drop in value over the years. In recognition of my one of my greatest collecting moments, I won a 1999 silver proof set for just $320 at an auction in 2006. A table and chart for your viewing pleasure:
