<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Long Beard, post: 25954270, member: 108674&quot;]In my fifty years of collecting following the mintage figures hadn&#039;t given me much pause unless there was mention of as much such as in 1999 or, as pointed out 2012. It wasn&#039;t until the huge uptick in issue price from 2020 to 2021 on the silver proof sets that a closer examination became apparent. I would concur that it&#039;s alarming, when in twenty years time the figures have plummeted just shy of 1 million. Second, the current figures for 2023/24 are below that of 1959 at 187,000. However, as I&#039;m one who always finds the positive in any situation. Currently, large numbers of collectors are abandoning the mint for their sets, many buying them for less in the secondary market. As as a result, I forsee sellers who buy in bulk reducing their orders rather than break even or take a loss. While collector&#039;s interest may not be as popular as it once was, it will climb again at some point. When it does, sets below 200,000 will likely exploded in value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
