<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 1119511, member: 68&quot;]The cents aren&#039;t reused and probably not the dollar metal but the nickels and clad are probably still reused to make coins.&nbsp; The nickels are melted to make the cladding layers and the clad are remixed to make either nickels or cladding.&nbsp; There&#039;s a steady evolution in such things but it&#039;s likely at least the nickels are still recycled since they&#039;re prett convenient for it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since 1936 regular proofs have been issued only in sets but there are individual proof commems and such that are sometimes (usually) sold singly.&nbsp; Older proof coins were available singly.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Lots of proof sets get busted up every year to supply the demand for proof singles.&nbsp; Some are destroyed in fires and flood or broken up for high grade coins. With mintages in the millions there&#039;s no danger of running out of any in the near future.&nbsp; However some dates like the &#039;68 have been destroyed in significant numbers and a large demand for intact sets could force prices higher.&nbsp; This might also apply to the &#039;92- date silver sets someday and almost any other dates.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t hold my breath waiting but these are attractive sets with some pretty coins in them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
