Anyone planning to buy additional clad proof sets before the end of sales on Dec. 30th? As of 11-22-11, 1,096,294 sets have been sold after 18 months, with the separate five quarters having a current sales total of 1,369,015, much lower than any of the State Quarters clad proofs. You would have to go back to 1959 to find a lower proof set total. Recall that the 2008 Clad proof set was selling at $10 or $20 more than the equivalent Silver proof set just a year ago. At $31.95 per set, might the same sort of scenario happen with the 2010s? |

No..... I had already bought two of them. One to break apart for the Dansco, and one to keep intact. My bases are covered good enough for me, in the unlikely event that that year becomes "coveted" in the Coin World. But this is an interesting fact about the 2010 Proof Sets that I didn't know. I'll be keeping an eye on it now. |

I have one that I will probably break open when I begin to get some Dansco albums with proofs. To me that is good enough. I've thought about doing 2 sets, one for the albums and one to keep in the proof case, but if you do that with the silver proofs and uncirculated business strikes too you are pushing $300 with shipping. I'm also back buying some proof sets here and there so that would get to be too expensive for me.
I may regret not buying 2 sets down the road, but oh well. Usually it doesn't seem to drop the value of the individual coin when removed from a proof so long it is done properly.

My 1992-2011 Proof Sets are Silver. The only post-1991 Clad Proof Set I own is a 2009 (because I wanted those four Copper Cents, and the full Clad Set came out a couple of months before the 2009 Silver Proof Set). You could say I "missed the boat" on the 2008 Clad Set, but I don't like to pay more for CuNi coins than the same coins in silver.  That said, the low mintage of the 2010 Clad Set is notable. This Set is the debut year of the National Parks Quarters and the Shield Cent. If silver skyrockets in the future, collecting Clad Proofs will become a lot more popular, no doubt about it! At that point, a 2010 Clad Set could be a nice thing to have. |

So what happens to any unsold sets that the mint may have once sales are ended?

If you are looking at all of a years combined proof set mintages then what is the current figure for 2010? you didn't mention the 2010 silver proof set or silver quarter proof set mintages. You can't compare part of this years total set mintage to the total set mintages from other years. |

If anyone is interested in the final sales total for the individual denominations in 2010S Proof/Silver Proof set, here you go: 2010 Proof sale totals through 1-04-12 1c 1,689,364 5c 1,689,364 10c 1,103,950 10cS 585,414 25c 1,380,285 25cS 859,417 50c 1,103,950 50cS 585,414 Sac$1 1,689,364 P$1 2,224,827 Two things of note: the silver dime and half at 585,414 is lower than the two keys of 1995: 679,985 and 1997: 741,678, and first year ATB Quarters fall in between the mintages of the 1999/2001 silver quarters, so if the ATBs ever take off in a big way, they might have a nice premium later. |
