U.S. Mint’s 2019 Limited Edition Silver Proof Set Released

Demand for this annually issued, 50,000-limited product tends to be high despite its $149.95 price. This year’s set is more attraction because, for the first time, all eight of its coins are struck in .999 fine silver.

From the same Coin News article:

"The eight coins in the set released today combine to 2.51 troy ounces of silver for a melt value of $43.80 based on Thursday’s LBMA silver price of $17.45 per ounce. In contrast, last year’s set has a silver weight of 2.338 troy ounces for a melt value of $40.80."

At $149.95, that's $59.74 an ounce.

That's quite a mark-up!

There are other threads on this.

The 0.999 fine silver is irrelevant. This is just the silver proof set and regular silver eagle in a different packaging - those are already 0.999 fine silver. There is nothing limited about this set other than the packaging.

And the 2019 silver proof set is $54.95 [UNLIMITED mintage]. A 2019 silver eagle proof is $55.95. [UNLIMITED mintage]

So, the very LIMITED EDITION rare box for this set costs you $39.05.
