question on silver proof sets

How much silver is in a Silver Proof Set with silver quarters from 2003? I was wondering because they don't seem to go for too much on e-Bay.

    A quick calculations shows approximately 1.34 troy ounces.

    The 5 quarters, dime and half dollar are all 90% silver coins.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    The standard weights for the 90% dime, quaters and half dollar that are in the modern silver Proof sets are same as the standards for the old "junk silver" coins. You can use the same buy prices for junk silver as you can for Proofs from a melt value perspective. Collector value will add to the value of the Proof set.
