Message:: [QUOTE="Vess1, post: 26693799, member: 13650"]The modern day attention span and emotions plays into what the releases do.  That's why nobody was buying silver when it was everywhere for $30 an ounce last year but once it hit $120, people were pushing women and children out of the way to get to the counters to buy it all up.       I can't say I don't get caught up in the moment but you need to realize when you are.    That's why I decided to give that 1999 set time.  I wanted it for a lot of years and finally saw one for under $60 early last year and I'm like if people want to give them away I'll take one.  In this instance I bought at the rock bottom.   But people don't really care about the state quarters program anymore.   Now we're on to the 250th anniversary.    I still appreciate the old stuff the same as at the time.    So I'll try to predict what I can get from the mint this year that's worth it and maybe wait to get any extras.  I will order a silver proof set but I would not order five of them.  If they go up I'm just out but at least I have one.   If they go down maybe i'll buy an extra set a couple years from now.    At minimum this years set contains 1.473 oz of pure silver so that's a bit of a hedge going forward.         When silver goes past $166/oz, today's inflated issue price becomes melt value.[/QUOTE]
