Being a relative new collector I have often wondered why the US Mint make an annual US Mint Silver Proof Set and do not make an annual US Mint Silver Uncirculated Set. I know the Mint produces many redundant coins in one of many annual coin sets, but wouldn't it be great to see a silver MS dime, quarter, and half produced in an annual Mint Silver Uncirculated Set. Would you buy it?

First of all a Silver mint set (not proof) would be considered a business strike and thus would be meant
for circulation. We don't mint business strike silver coins anymore. Proof coins escape this problem as they
are minted for collectors and not for circulation. No, I would not buy them but then again I don't buy any
mint products (new from the mint anyway!).

Instead of calling them mint sets, they could be called matte proof sets or something else.

Correction Mint sets are not circulation coins any more. They are made with special Satin finished dies now.

I would probably get some silver non-proof SHQs for x-mas gifts for the collectors I know that only collect SHQs.
