  Any idea what they'll cost?

  The sad truth of the matter is I don't know and it likely won't matter. I just need one and I guess I'll pay whatever it costs. Then I'm done buying silver proof sets as I'll have '99 - '08. Hopefully one day my grandkids will say wow.... grandpa was a real coin geek

  Don't underestimate the Mint. They will try to come up with something that will stimulate sales - maybe they are counting on the changing reverse Sacagawea Dollars to pick up where the Silver State Quarters leave off.

  I believe that is the last of the SHQ's.... should be interesting to see if they fill the 'void'... not that it is needed...Cheers, RickO

  I was disappointed when the 07 sets would not fit in my real nice ten set storage box that was color coded for my clads and silvers. I ebayed my modern proof sets and Silver eagles and bought a nice slabbed 1877 IHC with the returns. Now I don't have to even consider buying the last set... or should I say last sets. Hopefully one day my grandkids will say wow... grandpa has a few nice old coins... and not say... Grandpa should have bought and kept all those proof sets when he could have bought them for cost
