Looks like the 2010 silver quarter proofs sets MAY be sold out.

fivecentsfivecents Posts: 11,207 ✭✭✭✭✭
With silver at just under $34 an ounce the 2010 silver quarter set is less than $3 over melt.

The US mint website says the 2010 silver quarter sets are:

<< <i>This product is temporarily unavailable. >>

.

I wonder if the sell out temporary or if they are really sold out?

    The 2010 regular silver proof set melt is $45.28 with silver at $33.84 today.

    45.28 Silver
    5.06 Clad face value
    _______
    50.34 and the set only costs $56.95

    There going to be easy flips if silver holds up!

    Yes I think the 2009 is the lowest mintage Silver proof set
    since the state Quarter program started, a little over 600K
    if I remember right. The 2010 could come in under that.

    someone pointed this out Monday(?)


    I think people have been buying like crazy,

    I'd think they'd have gone on BO instead of "temp. unavailable" ??? image


    When silver hits $36.44 they'll be worth melt at the list price.

    Right now, you're looking at melt of $31.22 and a list of $32.95

    What is the policy regarding the Mint's ability to reprice silver?

    If they were really sold out or B/Od, I'd think they'd say that. To me, this has something more to do with the fact that these were selling pretty close to spot.

    I ordered 10 sets last week and they were "In Stock and Reserved" directly. I think they went "Temporarily Unavailable" on Friday, 02/25 and have stayed there.

    The only word I have is "removed from sale"

    reasons unknown.


    so the rumor mill can guess, but it'll take insider info to know what is really up.

    << <i>they are gonna jack up the price of course >>



    Since they are last year's sets don't you think they might have just finally sold out of them?

    ...and, as far as I know, they have never "jacked up" the price of a yearly set...just gold/platinum issues...besides they probably got the planchets early 2010 when silver was a t $15/ounce so they are stlll making money on them

    I would be guessing the Mint is repricing these sets based upon the uptick in silver. I will make a call and see what is going on.

    when the DC & Territories quarters were up near melt they sold out of them and the mint sales counters had to send theirs out to Indy to fulfill online ordrers.

    The only word I have with these is that they were removed from sale.

    As of today, these sets are worth ~$47.50 in silver and then $5.06 face (dollars, nickel, and cent). Not to mention the face is in proof condition.

    silver needs to hit $44.18 for the melt value to equal the silver value.
