scstrawn Pillar of the Community United States 536 Posts	Posted 04/21/2015 09:24 am So I was looking at some proof sets for sale online and everywhere I searched, the 2012 sets were so much more than the others. What is the cause for such a premium on the 2012's? Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 188191 Posts	Posted 04/21/2015 3:29 pm I do not think there was an official answer. The link inside the thread I linked speculates that the mint underestimated the demand and did not produce enough.

CoinCollector2012 Pillar of the Community United States 8137 Posts	Posted 04/21/2015 4:29 pm Of course that year happens to be the only year I bought a proof set from the mint. Now I'm kicking myself for only buying one! Report this Post to the Staff

For years I've always waited until the end of the year before buying everything. I got burned in 2012. Report this Post to the Staff
