GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 06/19/2007 11:21 am I have in the past but sold most of them. There are a lot of active collectors of them on here. Be careful with how much you pay for them. Sometimes on ebay I have gotten some at half RedBook price or less. Sometimes buying 4-10 or more sets at once can be the best thing just as long as you itimize everything out including shipping to get the best price. Always ask the seller if the coins are problem free with no spots. Most common are spots on the cent piece but other coins can tone as well of the sets have cracks. hope this helps goodluck!

Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3233 Posts	Posted 06/19/2007 11:26 am I personally buy the silver Proof sets from the Mint. I'm fortunate enough that I can pick through a number of 'em at the Mint shop to get a decently quality one. Report this Post to the Staff
Madmartigan Valued Member United States 264 Posts	Posted 06/19/2007 6:13 pm I've purchased a silver proof or other mint set every year for the last 5 years. Wish I had started years ago back in the 80s. Report this Post to the Staff
crystalk64 Pillar Of The Community 3147 Posts	Posted 06/19/2007 6:52 pm I prefer the proof silver sets just for the precious metal aspect and do like the look of silver but have collected both mint and proof sets for years. They are NOT something I must have as I have seen many a proof set tarnish over the years. If I find a proof coin I absolutely want to keep and protect I bust the set open and use airtites for individual coins. Edited by crystalk64 06/19/2007 6:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SA4H Pillar of the Community United States 2764 Posts	Posted 06/19/2007 7:57 pm Hey guys, If you have to choose, which would you get: Premier Silver Proof Set, Silver Proof Set, Prestige Proof Set, Proof Set or Mint Set and WHY? I can only afford one or two of the above mention type set... kinda lost right now... I need some help & input from the experts. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 06/19/2007 8:02 pm The difference between the Premier Silver and Silver is just the packaging. I like the Prestige set because of the extra coins involved. But for what most things are worth if I had to just choose one I'd pick the normal Silver Proof Set. Because I'd like to get one from every year. Report this Post to the Staff
