is the mint still producing these 2025 silver proof sets if there is no mintage limit? How did 8K all of a sudden become available?
And were the cents produced after the omega cents were struck?
ETA; and there were over 9k ats at 7:30, but I don't recall the exact number
It wouldn't matter, these aren't circulation strikes

No. They do not mint 2025 coins in 2026.
They may have made some in December.

The real question is weather 8000 new ones will kill the secondary market. I bought 5. I would have bought 500 if I was sure the price would hold.

since these are not circulation strikes, how long will the mint continue producing the 2025 silver proof sets?
in previous years, at what point does the mint stop producing the year proof sets (i.e. 90 days after calendar year end, 6 months after year end, etc...)?
ahhh, you answered my question in above posts. nevermind.
8000 new sets will certainly kill the secondary market in the near term. i saw current secondary market range at $500-$650. that is surely going to come down to a floor of $300 at least.
hopefully in 3-4 months once this 8000 drop no longer impacts the secondary market, the range will increase again assuming new demand/interest is gained
End of the year there were 114,269 sold.
I was able to buy one on 1-18, they sold out in a minute or two.
Sales # on 1-15.......124,489.
Sales # on 1-22.......124,653.
Sales # on 2-1.........124,762.
So is this hot?
$245 is a lot of money for a proof set.
Total silver content 28.6 grams or .92 troy ounce = ~$82
ats: 7285
Remains to be seen. As of yesterday this was hot as sold items ranged from $500 to $650 which is pretty good for a $245 investment. In mid Dec 2025 these sets hit the its ceiling at $750-$790 but prices have come down as the US mint has made sets available in morning releases sporadically in Jan 2026 and today.
This drop of 8,000 units will probably drop that $500-$650 range but not sure by how much or for how long.
Hopefully this is the last batch to be released by US Mint.
I grabbed 5. They will probably drop below issue price now.
A 10c, several 25c and 50c all in .999 fine = troy ounce ?
I am thinking about the $245 outlay and do appreciate the heads up !
As I do not resale coins it's like tossing even more money into a hole I dug in my backyard.
Actually the silver content is 1.473 oz, but still is expensive
I actually included the clad in my above calculation which was wrong.
I only see one dime, one quarter, and one half all = .667 Troy ounce silver.
What am I missing?
its 5 quarters actually.
(0.199*5)+0.079+0.399
All of the value is in one coin (the Lincoln Cent) with the 2025 set while the 2026 set has potentially six coins (the five quarters and the Lincoln cent). (This excludes the silver content)
Agreed. The popularity and price rise in secondary market is driven by the final year issue of the Lincoln Cent.
2026 includes the continuation of the last year issue of the Lincoln Cent as a 1776 ~ 2026 S 1c
I am still considering buying a couple sets now seeing as the 2 sets have about 3 ounces of .999 silver
I guess 2025 S is last year of Kennedy 50c too ? Or is it also to be revived in 2027 ?
I do LOVE this forum !!!
Happy Hump Day !

A bit more...
Digging deeper I see as of 2-1-26 there are 124,762 Silver proof sets in 2025 and
304,815 clad sets in 2025 and
24,900 Limited Edition 2025 silver proof sets with No Cents included.
So there's like 428,000 plus 2025 S proof Cents plus these newly available sets. Is 2025S 1c at 428k plus a low mintage key for the series everyone is needed to own ?
Thanks for the heads up. I bit the bullet and went for it. Never thought I would put out $250. for a proof set, yet here I am. As @Manorcourtman said, now they will probably drop below issue price. Zack
I need to read closer.....thanks for correcting me on the 'five' silver quarters.

The 2025 silver proof Kennedy half has been selling for ~$250 raw on ebay
Herd frenzy, and/or FOMO inspired me to pull the trigger on this too.
It’s the first mint order I’ve put through in many years.
Thanks for the heads up!

I wonder how many of these sets are rejects that people sent back because they had spots or marks?
Year ago I bought a Douglas McArthur Uncirculated $5 gold on a "last chance sale." The piece had too many marks to make MS-68, 69 or 70. It was marginal for MS-67, in my opinion.
Oops! I didn't take a picture of it before it went into the safe deposit box, but here's the design represented by a Proof. This is now worth its melt value, maybe even scrape value.
It's a 10 coin set not a 5 coin set

It's actually the half more than the cent I think

Is the 2025 FDR dime also a last year design? What's it gonna be after 2026?
I must be crazy - but I got one ordered
So what is the best guess thinking on these? There were production issues originally, and the sets were pulled from sale. Are these those sets now 'cleaned' up somehow? Are these fresh newer produced sets (later in 2025)? I think it is too high a number to be returns/rejects, as many would have kept the set anyway, as I did, since there were no others available. Also off topic, but why do the regular proof sets not still come up on the website? I realize they are sold out, but items usually still show up.

I just received a text notice from the USM that 25RH is available for online only orders. Have to love their timely notices. Thanks to AtomicWatermelon for what was an actually timely notice. A hot item could sell out by 12 hours later.
ats 1220 and falling fast 625PM EST
Ats 429 at 629pm est
Got 1. Yay.
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
sold out now.
Didn't see that coming.
I bought this set on 1-18. Doesn't look like a return, coins are very nice and plastic cases are perfect.
.
Nice set, well-photographed.
Seems gone now, but who knows.
I chose to pass, but it was fun to think about obtaining same set that sells for 2x on fleabay.

Happy Shopping !
I passed.
The 2017-S cent from the Enhanced Uncirculated set has half that mintage (211K) and can be picked up on eBay for about $20 (or the entire set for $30-35). I think "last year" status is driving demand for the 2025-S.
I have a set from the original on sale that has developed what appears to be something red (toning?, although it looks more liquid or gel like) that has developed around the top edge of the quarters, the nickel in the set also has a small spot of missed frosting. I held onto it, because nothing else was available, and at the time there wasn't the issue with the quarters. Is there any reason to still keep it since now I have a (hopefully) better set coming? I guess what I'm wondering is if there would be any difference in the two sets that I should keep both?
I agree with @jmlanzaf - the real prize here is the Kennedy half. Design change is set for 2027, so the 2025 is the end of the classic Kennedy half. On eBay the half is selling for $250 ish? The sort of last penny is a good addition as well, but the Kennedy is a winner.
If that is the case, is there a reason why the LE Silver Proof set is still available? Would seem to be a decent deal then with the ASE also included.

2025 LE Proof Set is not available, but one never knows so here's linky

Thanks, I could have sworn it was but I was probably looking at the 2024 set.

Mintage of roughly 125K isn't low. Yes, I know it's lower than most (all?) prior years for modern silver sets, but my inference is that proof sets are almost entirely a sideline collection not a primary interest.
The mintages have decreased substantially when the price increased noticeably but longer term, I still expect all to perform poorly. Still far too common for coins and series with such a low relative preference.
The 1998-S silver matte Kennedy half has less than half the mintage of the 2025-S silver proof and is selling at about 2/3 the price.
so sales figures go from
25RH 2025 SILVER PROOF SET
week end 2/1/26 124,762
week end 2/8/26 124,113
yeah that makes sense after they unloaded 7200+ more in 1 day.
someone care to offer an explanation? large order never paid for? dont know the mechanics of bulk, but doubt the USM just found 7000+ sets lying around.
