I was looking at Proof roll prices for 2010 Silver Proof sets!

Proof penny rolls $16.00 per roll-------------.32 each
Proof nickel rolls- $35.00 per roll-------------.87 each
Silver Dime rolls- $ 218.00 per roll--------$4.36 each
Silver Quarters--$ 169.95 1/2 roll---------$8.49 each x5 = $42.45
Silver half rolls---$ 295.00 per roll-------$14.75 each
Sac. Dollar rolls---$81.00 25pc.roll--------$3.25 each
President rolls----59.95 20pc. roll---------$2.99 each X4 = $11.96

Each 2010 Silver proof set, broken into rolls is selling for $ 77.96 ?
2010 Proof sets still selling for $ 56.95 on mint site.

    Before you get too excited, net out the Ebay selling charges. Also remember that there is a cost for breaking the holders and putting the coins in tubes so that dealers can place them Dansco type albums for sale. Maybe 2010 will be be good Proof set year, but I would not bet the ranch on it. And if there is a "bubble" it might be just that, gone before you know it.

    True, I just checked NN for mintage numbers for 2010 Silver proof sets ( 532,306 ) and Still for sale. anyone know if under 600K is low for silver proof sets? if so, they could do real well once they go off sale!

    Looks like the half dollars are going for the cheapest of all the coins, relatively. They are still more than what pre-1965 half dollars go for in relation to spot silver.

    I remember the 1999 Silver Proof set. It has a nice premium these days, as it was the first year of the series and apparently not many paid attention to it until later. I believe the mintage on the 1999 was just over 800,000. I wonder if the same thing can happen to the 2010 Silver Proof set.

    Probably not. In 1999 there was no separate Silver Quarters proof set, so the only way to obtain silver quarters for that year was/is to buy the entire Silver Proof set. For 2010, collectors can obtain a silver quarters-only proof set, which reduces demand for the full set.

    I got to looking around and found that out, thanks. So the overall mintage of silver proof sets does not include the separate quarter sets.

    Edited to add the Preface that a low mintage was only half the story with the 1999 Silver Proof Sets.

    ".......the mintage on the 1999 was just over 800,000. I wonder if the same thing can happen to the 2010 Silver Proof set." - Personally, I dont think so as the 1999 Silver Proof Sets had the promise of big buck PR70DCAM coins whereas PR70DCAM for the 2010 seems to be a given grade since production techniques have changed.

    Additionally, the 1999 Silver Proof Sets were the ONLY source for the State Quarter Silver Proofs and the State Quarter Series had really ramped up in the 2001/2002 time frame. Once the series completed, prices for that 1999 Silver Proof Set have come down dramatically. It was not unusual for the set to sell for $400, sometimes higher. Now that can be had for $150.

    Proof set mintages are directly related to coin demand and since 1999 SHQ were only available in that set, coupled with its low mintages, fueled the demand.

    I just don't see that for the 2010 Sets.
    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.

    If those are average prices it seems like a good opportunity to get some 90% silver at way less than spot after you sell off the clad pieces. image

    True and this 2010 proof silver sells for a premium over spot!
  • Options
    If you buy 20 2010 silver proof sets @ $56.95 each = $1,139. If you can sell the clad pieces in rolls of 20 at:

    Lincoln Dollar roll of 20 - $120
    Sacagawea roll of 20 - $100
    the three other Presidential dollars (at $70 per roll of 20) - $210
    Jefferson Nickel roll of 20 - $11
    Lincoln cent roll of 20 - $88

    It comes out to $529 - $63 in eBay fees = $466. That leaves you with 26.6 ounces in pure silver for $673 or $25.30 per ounce!

    Silver at spot of $34.38 makes the bullion value of the set $46.01 not anywhere near $60

    Premium is much less with the Proof 2010 Quarters at $32.95 and a spot of $31.09

    There are 41.625 grams of silver in a 2010 proof set. 5 x 6.25 x .9 = 28.125 for the quarters and 12.5 + 2.5 = 15 x .9 = 13.5 grams for the half dollar and the dime. Using 28.3495 grams per ounce I get 1.4628 ounces of silver. Using spot of $34.41 (current as of this post on 3/1/11 at 9:35 AM) I get $50.52 for the silver in the set. Add in the 5 dollars you can just spend, the current value is right at the selling price IMHO. $55.52 is pretty close.

    I may have a few rounding issues, but I think this is pretty much on the money. If you think silver is going to hold its price, there will eventually be a premium over the intrinsic value of the set. I will keep the one I have for my proof set run, but watch at this continues on.

    If the proof clad coin prices hold up (i.e. we do not flood the market)

    money can still be made at 64.95. Just not as much.


    I also bought a bunch of these sets before the price increase. I haven't started to crack them yet. I will shortly.

    Taking out the $5.06 in FV coins, means silver will need to hit $38.775 for the set value incl. silver value to be equal to the original issue price. I haven't even bothered to calculate the required silver price for the new issue price.

    With the reprice, I believe silver needs to hit about $45/oz before the silver content and clad face value = $64.95. Someone correct me if my math is wrong.

    However, many of the proof coins do go for decent premiums. Namely the Lincoln cents, Lincoln dollars, Sac Dollars and to some extent the nickels.

    With the current and IMO brief glut of silver proof quarters in OGP on the market I don't see why anyone holding circulated bags of dirty, worn, underweight pre 1965 coins doesn't sell off the circulated stuff and buy into the full weight proof silver in OGP.

    The proof silver will track the price of circulated bags but will likely provide a significant numismatic premium if silver drops back 25-50%.

    To appreciate difference, stack 40 pre 1965 quarters against 40 proof quarters and compare height and then weigh both.

    It will make you a believer................

    The problem with modern silver proof quarters is that they are less desirable as barter items. The non-collecting public may have difficulty telling them apart from clad proofs, since the silver ones carry the same designs and dates. Most people are probably not even aware that silver quarters are still being struck.

    The same holds true for modern silver proof dimes and halves, as well as modern silver commemorative dollars and halves.



    << Don't be so quick melting the 2010 silver half and dime....they both are low, low mintage. >>

    So are many other silver dimes and halves struck in the past 10 years. It doesn't seem to make much difference, many of them are fetching junk silver prices.

    ...........................................................

    Telling silver proof quarters from clad is no problem for even a novice.

    Add in OGP and its a no brainer.

    All I'm saying is if you hold $100-$1000 bags of circulated 90% you'd be better off with full weight 90% proof or
    same thing for all the uncirculated rolls of 1964 kennedy halves.

    what I worry about is someone silver plating the clad proofs and passing them off as 90% silver proofs. Only a matter of time if it hasn't happened already.

    ..................................................................................................................

    If you were buying them basically for bullion content and in quantities i.e. $100-$1000 face, it would be easy enough do some random spot checks.

    Most of these I've seen offered are still in OGP.

    Is weight of clad and silver the same??
  • Options

    The whole bag could be silver plated or just two coins could be silver plated. In the OGP it really would get tricky.
    That is why pre 1965 silver is so popular...no way to fake it unless the whole coin is counterfieted.
