Mintage of 2010 vs 2011 Silver proof half and dime

2manycoins2fewfunds

I see the 2011 U.S. Mint Silver Proof Set mintage is up to 556,101.

What was final mintage for 2010?

Do these represent record low mintages for silver halves and dimes??

Long term potential??

I see very few 2010 silver proof rolls being offered for sale on ebay...........good omen or simply lack of interest??

They could have been melted when silver hit the high $40s last year.
For me, I have seen where folks have broken up a lot of proof sets and offered individually in rolls, but I have never really understand any desire to buy them.
If you want a silver play, then usually circ 90% is an easier way to go.

That said, I have some sets I wouldn't mind selling when the price gets right

The complete 14 coin silver proof sets were very subject to scrapage in spring of 2011.

You could buy sets from mint for $58 and get $1.85 in proof full weight silver coins plus 4 presidential proof dollars, a proof Native American/Sac, cent and nickel.

At peak silver prices the $1.85 in silver coins alone was worth over $60.

When silver spiked to $49 I broke apart 1,000 sets.

I'm sure I wasn't alone.

Now it looks like intact 2010-S 14 coin proof sets are selling for $70-$80.

Whether that reflects numismatic premiums for individual coins or a premium for intact 14 coin sets I don't know.
