Yesterday I picked up two more prestige sets, 1995 and 1997. I was thinking I was getting close to having them all, but I still need the 1983, 1996 and 1998. I got to wondering if others have put a set of these together. I know a couple members have mentioned having a few sets. They do take up space, but the more I get the more I like them. Yesterdays pickups   Some I have had. Picture has been posted before.   |

Oh boy. Beautiful examples of those 95-97 sets. The toning is subtle and appealing.   |

I was looking at the earlier this week, I noticed the prices went down, as did the silver proof sets.

I only have the 1993 Prestige set, mainly due to it is the only set with 2 silver coins.
I like your collection. It won't be long till it's completed.

Quote:My 2014 RedBook doesn't list a 1998 Prestige set. Thanks for pointing that out Conder101. Not sure what I was looking at .. maybe Premier .. which I think I have that one.... Even better .. I better do a inventory ... but might be two away from a set of these. -------------------------------- Took another look at the 1995 ns 1997 .. that toning does not show as much in hand vs pictures |

I have three (1988, 1990, 1991) and I would love to have them all.

Those look nice, GR58! I have not yet started to get those. Just not enough collecting bandwidth (money OR time!). But one of these days...  Edited by CelticKnot

Buying more of these is something I would like to do, and probably will once the current Dansco projects are finished.

buying soon.
Bid/$255 ask/$280

I have them all , got the final one at an auction last year, the 1996 for $207. I haven't seen one for under $200 in a while.
Have all the premier sets and all but the 2008 Legacy sets. Then on to the Special Edition proof sets of which I have none yet.

I have all the Prestige sets as well and I believe they are and will continue to be very collectible. Many have been broken apart for collections and for grading. Plus they are something that you won't see again from the mint!

I put this set together 10+ years ago, when prices were higher. The '96 at one time was going for over $400.
Yes, they are bulky, and difficult to store, with limited space. But I think the way they are displayed makes them.
And yes....1997 was the last year.
Chattanooga Coin has a complete set (14) for $789 in a flyer I just received.
