    Supply and Demand???

    more like demand and supply.

    Plus, they don't always go up. The Greysheet will list a minus sign every now and then.

    Not all of them from those years have gone up. Some of the clad proof sets and some of the mint sets bring less than issue price. Of course the silver 1999 and 2001 proof sets compensate quite nicely for the losers in that time span.

    Does anyone here agree that the 1999 set will drop significantly in price after the state quarter program is over?

    When is the state quarter program over? I have one 1999 silver set I do not plan on holding onto. What does it go for?

    The 2000 mint set has done pretty poorly. It wholesales at less than 150% of face value.

    Since virtually all of the finest coins of most dates go into the mint sets, this seems to be a steal. Most
    of these won't have much worth looking at but with patience you'll pull out some nice cherries.

    Aside from promotional items like the 1999 silver set, which ones have really gone up in value? It looks to me that the sets settled to their level, which was sometimes higher than issue and often times lower and stayed there.

    And when the State Quarter Program is over, ALL of these sets will go down in value. It's only the collector in me that has me keeping one set a year in each metal.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    I hope it goes down in price because the ONLY statehood quarters I need to complete my set are the 1999 silver proofs and I really don't feel like paying the exorbinant prices they are demanding.
    I collect the elements on the periodic table, and some coins. I have a complete Roosevelt set, and am putting together a set of coins from 1880.

    2008 is it. The 99 silver set of 9 proof coins is going for $275 plus

    I know the 2004 clad and mint sets were doing fine as well....what are they up to now?

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    The 04 Mint Set unopened can fetch as much as $75. The 99 Silver Proof Set usually sell for around $350, but the local coin shop in my area, retails them for for $395. The big loser, the 2000 Silver Proof Set, it's tough to even give them away.

    Went to a local coin store this week to check out the prices of the 1999 and 2001 proof sets. 1999 clad was $68; 1999 proof was around $325; 2001 clad was $105; and 2001 silver was $165. I bought the 1999 clad proof set. Today I looked at the reverse on the cent and it is a Close AM.

    I think once the program is up, these will wane, and then people will start cracking them out for grading, then, 100 years from now, they'll be a REAL collectors item ! are you enough of a collector to preserve the highest value for after your gone and buried image ????
