<p>[QUOTE="vegasvic, post: 432313, member: 15296"]About a year ago the 99 Silver Set bottom out at $235. I was able to put the 45 Silver Proofs into Blank Quarter Dansco's and sell them at shows for $625-$650. That's not possible now as the first nine in the Greysheet are at $600 and that changing to the Silver Quarter Sets in 2004 when they came out. Now the big companies are offering all 10 sets for a little over $600 and that's not in a Dansco.</p><p>I can buy most anything at Greysheet bid, but right now they priced me out of my own idea.</p><p>Also, has anyone noticed the Kennedy sets in the Greysheet? A 1964-2008 BU set including the proofs and silver proofs has dropped from around $700 a year ago to $575 (ask) today. I don't understand it. I could make usually three purchases on Ebay, the BU's, the proofs and the silver proofs were usually each a separate purchase, occasionally having to add a few missing coins and turning a $200 profit over what I paid and they usually came in a Dansco.
