<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 1907677, member: 4626"]In theory a mint set shouldn't be worth more than the sum total of the coins they contain so I wouldn't try to invest in "sets." One of these days, say a generation or two from now, the only source for high graded modern coins will be these sets, but at best your talking about making your grandsons rich, not you. The declining mintage of these sets shows that the demand keeps going down (compare these figures to the mintages of standard clad proof sets) so I can't see these being a good investment any time soon. But if you're looking for the very long term (I'm talking 25 to 50 years or more) almost all the mint sets could be sleepers. But they'll be sleeping for a VERY long time.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those 2012 sets are highly overvalued BTW. Unless you bought them at issue price don't expect to be able to cash them in for a profit any time soon. Their price will inevitably go down.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
