<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dave92029, post: 1033270, member: 26916&quot;]The numismatic values for Silver Proof Sets (2002-2007) are selling on eBay for well below Melt plus non silver coin face value. The is approx. 1.34oz of silver in each set. @$27/oz = $36.18, plus the face value of $1.06 (dollar, nickle &amp; penny) yields $37.24 total value.</p><p>I have been winning auctions @ $29-$34/set </p><p><br /></p><p>It doesn&#039;t appear to me that the numismatic value of these US Mint Proof coins&nbsp; is recognized. The 2007 sets include an additional 4 dollars so it&#039;s melt plus face value is $41.24</p><p><br /></p><p>I have bought all the sets that I can currently afford. The two sets that arrived yesterday, a 2006 &amp; 2007, look like they came direct from the mint. I paid $68 for the two sets, that is a 13.3% discount from the melt plus face value of $78.48</p><p><br /></p><p>Today these sets have a negative numismatic value. I don&#039;t know why, but I sure have a nice collection. I&#039;m hoping that the appreciating melt value will cause the total number of sets in circulation to decline, therefore increasing the numismatic value.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In the mean time, I feel that this is one of the least expensive ways of acquiring silver. </p><p><br /></p><p>The cost of postage, if any, is partially off set by the 3% discounts (1% rewards rebate I receive by using my credit card, Plus the 2% rebate from eBay Bucks) . I have participated in over 300 eBay auctions and only had one seller who did not deliver the item auctioned. EBay refunded my total payment in two weeks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
