The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

@psuman08 are the 1964 sets PDS for all mints or just Philly. Seems like the ones I see for sale are just 5 coins, with just 3 (dime, quarter and half) in 90% silver.

Yes it looks like the 64 mint sets had the Philly and Denver coins. Totally lost when it comes to modern. Thanks for educating me.

Reminder that this time last year, silver was around $30 an ounce. If it keeps up this pace, this time next year it will be around $160.

I do not believe it will keep this pace. Corrections will occur.
