Speculation, Presidents proof sets

What does everyone think the proof sets will do given the parallels between the 1999 silver quarters proof sets which now go in the low $300's and the first year of the Presidents proof sets. Are any of you going to purchase a few extras on speculation? Let's assume the circulating dollar flops like SBA.

    the dealer i work for is speculating the same thing, that these sets really take off. i disagree with him, i think they may go up in price a little, but not nearly as much as the 1999. in 1999 you could only order 2 sets if i'm not mistaken, and this caused not as many to get in the market as people wanted, so the price went up. i think too many people are expecting that to happen this year for it to actually happen on a large scale.

    What will be in the 'set'? I may have missed it on the site, but could not find a breakdown of what it contains... Cheers, RickO

    The 1999 silver proof set bubble was mostly caused by an ill-advised Mint distribution mechanism. Unless that's repeated here I don't expect to see massive speculation on this set, particularly since it doesn't look like there will be low production limits or a very short offering window.
  • These will no way come close to matching the '99 silver proof sets, c'mon. They will experience mediocre interest and appreciation. I'll get one...

  • My guess is that these will sell for about issue price for many years. The speculators are filled to the brim with money from all their profits of recent issues. Tossing a few back will be common and that usually means the item will never go up much in value.
