<p>[QUOTE="Phil Ham, post: 1096677, member: 5787"]I'm looking to purchase the 2011 silver proof set but will probably wait until next week to buy a few with an unc. set. Although I wasn't surprised with the $67.95 price since it has been pretty well discussed in the coin world, I was humored by the price of the 2010 set. What I found interesting was the price of a 2010 set two items down on their web page at $56.95. I started a discussion with myself to understand the thinking of the mint. Why didn't they raise the price of the 2010 set to $67.95 (probably require an act of Congress)? Why didn't they stop selling the 2010 sets and melt them back to sell at $11 more money (inept business people at the mint)? Let's sell the 2010 at $11 less to make room for the 2011 model (ureka moment for the mint to use a stunt from auto dealers to sell off last year's models).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
