[QUOTE="cladking, post: 90766, member: 68"]Every indication is that the public is becoming interested in modern coins. Mint sets have always accumulated in dealer stock and been destroyed enmass to form the date/ mint mark sets or to spend as the sets commanded very low prices. Now these sets are selling at very high prices to the public at many dozens of venues. Dealers rarely have much stock any more and prices are substantially higher than a few years back. Yet, still, there are increasing numbers of places that these sets are sold. When those retailing them need more stock they will bid up the prices on these sets. More interestingly is what will happen to the single coin prices when the mint sets are "gone". Right now if someone wants a '77 half in nice choice unc all he needs to do is go out and look at four ot five '77 mint sets and pick the nicest one. This will be far more difficult when the mint sets are hard to find and this will force many buyers to seek the coin from dealer lists. Dealers do not have large stocks of such material and most replenish from mint sets.[/QUOTE]
