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

I'm not Phil Ham, but I think CURRENT and INTRINSIC are the current market value and current melt value, respectively.

The silver proof sets still on sale from the mint (2019, 2021, 2023 and 2024) are all priced at $150, so it's safe to assume the 2025 set will be at least that much. (2023 and 2024 were originally priced at $130)

Just a quick update on the 1999 set. I decided I’d like to add the complete 99 set with the quarters and the normal Lincoln, dime, nickel and half to my collection.
I was watching an auction for the complete set with box and paperwork that was bid up to $50. The buy it now offerings were around $68 so I tried sniping it at the last second and bid $69 thinking I’d get it for $51 and I got outbid by someone else’s higher bid of $70.
So I found another set exactly the same with the same stuff with make an offer option. Offered $59 plus 4.95 shipping and the offer was accepted. So I got my set for $63 shipped which it has a melt value of just over $40 right now.
I really almost paid $300 for this set back in the day. It is the lowest mintage set at 800k+ but there are plenty available. It makes me think these “coveted”, “low mintage” Jefferson nickels at 32 million, while lower, still aren’t really that low of a mintage to cause them to ever be a rarity. Unless nobody saves them.
