<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 1119611, member: 68&quot;]There&#039;s a lot of truth here.</p><p><br /></p><p>A lot of good sets have gone bad and some dates are typically or always bad.&nbsp; It&#039;s worse with the mint sets but the proof sets aren&#039;t that far&nbsp; behind.&nbsp; There has been a little cherry picking going on so a lot of what&#039;s left is picked over.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Most collectors don&#039;t realize just how tough a collection of nice attractive mint and proof sets can be.&nbsp; Now the older silver mint and proof sets are being destroyed in large numbers again.&nbsp; When the economy strenghtens the demand will improve and the supply is not going to be ample for the first time ever.&nbsp; This wouldn&#039;t be an especial problem except that the source for singles won&#039;t be there so the demand on sets could be large.&nbsp; There was never a bottomless pit for any of these and now with as many as 70% of the mint sets&nbsp; destroyed and up to 40% of proof sets gone the few tarnished stragglers just might not cut the mustard for collectors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
