<p>[QUOTE=&quot;statequarterguy, post: 954098, member: 21782&quot;]Good question, probably many reasons. I think in general, the coins that are worth more out of the sets are higher grade coins, but not always. There are collectors that want a high grade example of every coin in the set and it&#039;s next to impossible to find a set with all high grade coins, so they&#039;ll buy the coins individually.&nbsp; Then there are series collectors that are not interested in mint or proof sets, but want the unique coins in the sets to complete their collections, so they&#039;re willing to pay a premium for one or a few coins rather than buy the whole set.&nbsp; .&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As most know, for modern coins, I like satins and silver proofs. I figure at some point down the road, most of the satin mint sets will be broke up to complete collections, as these low mintage sets contain the keys to most modern circulating series.&nbsp; Some of the silver proof sets should be broken up, but I like the OMP.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve found that as time goes on, most of the higher grade coins are broken out of sets and the original sets that remain are pretty &quot;junky&quot;.&nbsp; But, that’s not always the case - a nice original set may be worth more than the individual coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Okay, so there&#039;s probably ten more reasons why.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
