1999 S Proof set Clad 5 coin set vs. 9 coin set

LincolnCentMan

I'm planning on liquidating all my state quarter proof sets. I was checking the closed auctions for the 1999 5 coin proof set against the 1999 9 coin proof set. Heck, the 5 coin set is going for as much as the 9 coin set.... and in many cases, more. Anybody know what's up with that???

Apparently some people don't want to be saddled with the four extra
coins. So far as I know there is no difference in quality between the
five coins in common. The mintage on the five coin set is lower, perhaps
some want to collect each of the packaging options.

How about the number of five coin sets offered is lower, because, the mintage of clad 1999S proofs is the total of the coins in BOTH sets. The packaging has no bearing on the number of clad proofs minted.

Quite true, but there were more than twice as many of the 9 coin sets made.
Perhaps the high price for the five coin set is the result of people buying one
of each of the packaging options and this is just revealing the depth of the
demand for these sets.

I think because like it or not the quarters are the hot item. Like already stated maybe they are just not interested in the 4 other coins.
