Who among us has ordered the 2003 US Mint State Quarter Proof Sets, available starting today? How many will wait for the full Proof Set?

    I am going through the mint on thier subscription method - but only for the full proof sets and the silver eagle Proofs.
    This way they send them automatically as they are issued.

    I wait until I can get the whole set. Why pay $12 for jsut the quarters, when you get the whole set for $19.

    You never know. Errors and varieties are becoming a thing of the past. Will the full proof set be issued at the end of the year? I tried to buy the buffalo dollar one day after it was released on line and it was not available. I'm a fool, I'll jump. Are there any dealers out there still selling their cache of buffs they bought?

    I've got two sets coming on subscription. I always pick through a few sets to find just the right ones, get PCGS to encapsulate them, then put them in my collection. The reset are for the speculative market, or the kids, or whatever seems right as things go along.

    I buy the 10 coin ones, too for the Sacs, the Kennedys, Lincolns, and Jeffs. I typically keep the clad ones around for a while to see what happens on the market. Some folks really just want the 5-coin set with the official box, others want all 10, and some don't want the quarters, so I tend to keep a variety around and about. I'm actually excited about this year's coins. They're not all stunningly beautiful, but they have GREAT themes, and some history in the designs (with all the controversy and hard work that went into settling them out.) Even if this is not a good year for the value, they'll be fun historically.

    The best design so far! I'm partial though image
