I received the 2009 silver proof set as a gift, which I was quite pleased with. I think I may ask my in-laws for silver proof sets every Christmas going forwards.
As for the "never selling junk silver", I finally broke down and sold 4 rolls of 40% Kennedy's and put the proceeds into a 1890-CC Morgan. I think the Morgan will do better over time since so many people turn their noses up at 40% silver. It's also part of the CC Morgan set I'm working on. I figured the full set of Morgans will have to go on hold for a while. Some people just get way too carried away with the amount of money they spend on those things!

With silver being so high right now.......I have thought about taking my 40%ers down to the coin shop. I'd prefer to wait about 30 years....but it IS very tempting ! Problem is.....while " I " would like to use the "sale" of them to go towards "coins"..... the wife would have other ideas, I'm sure !.....  Edited by eaglefoot

The auction bryan1234 referred to.No box or COA, but can't complain too much for the price... Quote:
...so many people turn their noses up at 40% silver That's why I found so many of them in circulation in the 1980's. When Silver was $4 to $5 an oz., they were worth barely more than face value. (one 40% JFK @ $4/oz = 59 cents melt value)

I love junk silver. I've posted this before but I was new at buying coins and collecting and not really set yet on what I really liked. So I came across this great listing by suncoins on ebay. Unsearched Silver Lots all pre 1964 no War Nickels. I paid $162 for a little over 7oz. Did find some really nice coins. When I added everything up I always got what I paid for. Most of the coins could be found in Dealer Junk Boxes I later found out much to my surprise. But none the less I did get some really nice coins. I posted the 1949D Franklin on the Grading Thread on this forum. I wouldn't mind posting some of them. That is if anyone's interested. I went on to buy three of these lots. The thrill of seeing what was in their I think was the best part for me. I wouldn't look into the envelope after I opened it. I would just unwrap them and pull one by one out. Looking each one up as they came out. Now I would invest that money a little different :-) Like Gothic Gothic I almost bid on some 40%er rolls on the bay but it was just a little to high when I came across it. Nice Job. I think I lucked out going with the seller I did. Being so new and naive I really could of got taken advantage of. I dont know how some of these guys get away with what their doing. |

Dna, I believe the link you posted is from a "full set" broken up. There was "also" an article last year in which the writer / blogger was saying that based on the pricing of individual sets by "the US mint" that it would make sense to buy the full set. I "think" I saw it one of the sites that is blocked by CCF. I only remembered about the article when you posted that link. |

Mint Stats article(scroll down to see the chart for Oct. 10) 2009 Six-Quarter Silver Proof Set = 295,600 as of Oct. 10th (as of today, $26.10 in melt value!) Indeed, I agree with Ceylon62 that the auctioned Set lens I linked to is almost certainly from a broken Full Silver Proof Set. Why would anyone buy a " Presidential dollar Set and Clad Quarter Set" pair, when you can get the Full Clad Proof Set for $1.05 more?  (in 2009, the full Clad Set was five Cents more than the pair above!) The Full Silver Set costs $8.05 more than a "Pres. Set plus Silver Quarter Set" pair, but you get the Silver Dime and Half-Dollar that are unique to the Full Silver Set. (bullion value on those two alone is $10.44 as of today, adding extra support for Ceylon's opting for Full Sets. Edited by DNA

legend: Time will validate this purchase. Soon. A month and two days after you started this thread, in fact!  Today, silver passed the magic $27.60 point at which the Six-Quarter Set was worth the $29.95 issue price in melt value alone. |

The 2009 D.C./Territories Silver Proof Quarters Set sold out last month. The Full 2009 Silver Proof Set ceased sale on June 30, 2010, as that was the date set in the legislation for sales of new 2009 Cents to cease. The Full 2009 Clad Proof Set also ceased sale that day. Quote:

are really pulling their weight now! At these spot prices, any old Whitman with the forty-eight 1946-1964 Roosevelt dimes is pulling its (3.47 Troy Oz. ASW) "weight".  legend made a great call. Silver Proof coins in a low-mintage Box/COA, exceeding their issue price in melt value alone, in only a month.  Edited by DNA

There is around 25 melt in 5 quarters as of today but if you look around you can get it cheaper then the mint site. I'm hoping with the higher silver prices there will be less of these made and sold and hopefully the many 2010 silver quarters will gain value like the 1999 ones did
