I recall reading one time that the 1973-S 40% Silver Proof Eisenhower dollar hit $150 or $160 dollars in PF-65 in 1974. Now this is in 1974 money which today would be more like $150.00 = $688.81 and $160.00 = $734.73. That was an all time high and it hasn't gotten close since. Historically modern proof coins of business strike series and especially modern commemorative coins tend to do like those bottle rockets on the 4th. They flare up real quick out of the gate and then they flame out. Even an obvious better date one like the 1999 clad and silver proof sets are way off their all time highs. I believe the same will be the case with the 2013 Proof Sets both clad and silver.
