POLL: How much did you pay for your 1999 Silver Proof Set?

relayer

If you bought from the Mint, tell us at what price you would (or did) sell them for?

If you bought in the secondary market, when did you buy and what did you pay?

I traded some software I had to my uncle for 2 of his....he only had 2 left...having sold a few.
I gave him going ebay price at that time... $150 each. This was a little less than a year ago now. Wow! They have gone up.

I have been tempted to sell one, but I am trying to do 2 sets of proof sets for myself and my growing son.....I will hold onto them for awhile and, if I do sell, I will sell mine and save his for him.

I have two, bought both from the mint, and have been considering selling one of them - just haven't gotten around to it.

I had two sets. One I bought for $60 on eBay in 2000, I sold last year for $150. The other one I bought from the mint as issue price, and sold it a few weeks ago for $250.

10 @ $82. Sold 5 awhile back near $140.

Bought one in....2000 or 2001 I think. Paid I think $75 for it?
No interest in selling it right now or near future.
Also this one set has a strange Roosie in it.
On the reverse, left side is a golden colored olive leaf.
Damnest thing you ever saw. No one has mentioned yet to have seen one.
Is mine the only one? I wouldnt think so.

This pcgs price guide still lists it at $75. They're not even trying to try.

elwood

$38.50

I have 4 which I purchased in the $50 -$70 range a couple 3 years ago! No plans to sell any yet!

Bought one silver proof, two regular proof, and two mint sets from the mint at issue price. Had a feeling that the new quarters would be hot. How's that for smart?

Gave my sister's boy the silver proof set for Christmas that year, gave my wife's brother's little girl one of the clad sets. How's that for dumb?

How much is the non-silver 1999 proof set worth? I paid $19.95 for that. Every proof set from 1986-1998 my grandmother bought me in the year of issue for my birthday. 1999 was sadly the first year I had to buy my own.

Blade

Bought one for $99 in late 2001 when I returned to collecting, so I could have a complete set of the state quarter proofs. Also bought the clad for $49.

Bought one for $70 back in 2000. Sold it last year for more.

Unfortunately there weren't dual answers, as I bought one from the mint and when I realized they were going up, I picked up another one at $70 (and thought that was high at the time). Now I wish I had bought a bunch both times.

I did my usual number, which is to buy 10 from the mint, save one and sell the rest. All of the ten that I sold (I bought one at a show from a dealer because it was very cheap), I got well below the currently listed wholesale prices.

Bought 4 from the US Mint. Still have 3 of them.

One of them was missing the Roosy dime (an empty space) and sold it for a bloody fortune.

HMMMmmmmmm Missing Roosie huh? Whats it mean.
I am DIEING to hear someone say they found a similar `weird roosie` as the one i,ve been harping about ever since i joined this damn site. and i dont care WHO thinks i,m nuts or whatever....
i already know that anyway.....heck, i think it was the subject of one of my first posts.......ugh.

Purchased two from the mint, sold one last week for 232.50

Numismanic

I purchased two from the Mint. I still have them.

Trooper

Bought one on ebay in at the end of January on a BIN for $125..link

The other one from a co-worker late last summer for $100.

I'll probably hold them for awhile.

I would advise not holding more sets than you would like to collect for too long, Trooper. I think that the current $200+ bid on the Graysheet is too high and that it will come down eventually. When it does, the sets will become hard to sell until it seems that they have hit the bottom. When prices are going down, it might say $175 on the Gray Sheet, but during a period like that you might be lucky to get $150.

My wife and I bought a few sets from the Mint. She is keeping her one set because she collects proof sets in original packaging and has them all for a good ways back. I sold mine as I am no longer trying to collect all proof sets. I think I sold them for around $150.

stujoe

I bought several sets from the mint and flipped them as soon as they were in the $75 to $100 range (Don't remember exact time frame.)

Hedger

My wife purchased my '99 set from the mint. The silver is turning a nice golden tone especiallyon the dime.

paigowjohnny

Don't have one...don't want one (unless somebody is giving away)

BillJones

I think that the State Quarter Silver Proof sets are really attractive and classy. To me they on one of the best things the mint sells. They present the State Quarters in their absolute best light.

The 1999 will probably always be the "key" to the set, and I have no doubt that it will always sell for more than the issue price. The question is HOW MUCH over the issue price? I'd say $200+ is too much given that the mintage was somewhere around 700 thousand.

I flipped my sets at $80 and then decided I needed a 99 for the complete set. So after a search at the local show all were at $100 except one and it was $105. I figured I'd look at it anyway since all the rest were lower end reject stuff. Yet this one for $105 was perfect and the best I've seen for the year. Of course I coughed up the extra $5 and bought it. It was a good thing I'd say Wonder how the clad sets will fair in the long run?

jasbucks

I pd Hi-retail @the local coin shop for no darn good reason...Had to buy somethin. I'm lookin for the 01' & 02' sets figured I'd shop for the deal on those. I'd like two of each if anyone has some they wish to off.
