<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 26013567, member: 13650"]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. </p><p> 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. </p><p> 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. </p><p> 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.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
