  Ordered 3 Silver Proof, 3 Proof, and 3 Mint Sets today. Thought I would wait until the silver sets came out to order all three to reduce overall unit shipping cost. BTW, mint sets are currently BO and won't ship until mid august.

  Yep, I did. What's weird is that since I came back to collecting coins, I've gravitated towards Connecticut Coppers and Modern Proofs. What's up with that?

  I ordered two today - thanks for the heads up here in the forum.
  
  I noticed 2003 silver proof sets are sold out at the Mint too. They were available just a couple days ago, but I postponed buying because I wanted to save money and combine shipments. Doh!
  
  Fortunately, there's a few lots of them on eBay. I bought 10 sets for about the same price as the Mint. Hopefully they'll rise in price in the next few months and years

  I'm not positive about the 2003 Silver sets, but I think the Mint quit selling them when the 2004 sets went on sale. I don't think they sold out...I saw them on the Mints site a couple days ago too.

  I think there may be an opportunity to make some $ on these, what do you think? There is one coin in this set (Silver Kennedy) that you can only get here and because the sale of the 5 Quarter Silver Proof set will take away sales from the 11 coin Silver set, the Kennedy may be worth alot more than usual. What do you think?

  Ordered silver proof set and uncirculated set. The first time this year I have combined orders to save shipping. This year the mint had a real nice way of putting out an item I wanted (and purchased) and then putting another out about ten days later just so I would give them all those lovely shipping fees. Or do the mint do this every year?

  Now that the mint sets and silver proof sets are out, I'll have to look for an opportunity to get to the Mint kiosk, at Union Station, the next time I'm in Washington.
