Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 07/19/2016 11:37 am In the 70s and 80s, my Grandfather always bought the maximum 5 allowed proof sets thinking they would increase in value. He only ordered two of the 1976 Silver Bicentennial sets. Guess which are the only ones that retained their value? Adjusting for devaluation of the dollar, and the lack of people wanting them, he paid a lot more for those clad sets than what I could pick them up for today (some close to face value). However, the sets are all still beautiful (large proof Ikes and JFKs in them ), and they are certainly priceless for the memories attached. I could never get one off of ebay that would mean as much to me. in them How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

ShinyCat Valued Member United States 83 Posts	Posted 07/22/2016 02:47 am I have been collecting the silver proofs for the last ten years. When I decided to fill in a few holes, I went with APMEX rather than eBay/ Report this Post to the Staff

It's gonna come some time this upcoming week since this week it didn't come! I know I'm gonna get the icon so please be patient while we wait! Obviously it isn't moving quickly through the Post Office! Report this Post to the Staff

BoojiBoyTravis Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 07/25/2016 7:16 pm Proof set arrived today! I'm quite impressed so far with the set, being that it's the last year of the Presidential $1 coins, is quite a thing to behold! Now, let's show pics! I apologize for some light glare, but I am quite pleased with the quality of the coins! I think since 2011 they've made it to where you can see the rims of the coins. Now if I'm wrong please correct me, as I think I'm close to the date if I'm wrong. Now, hope everyone drools in awe! Report this Post to the Staff

Zisky New Member United States 9 Posts	Posted 08/15/2016 02:47 am Was there supposed to be a special Silver Proof set for 2016? I remember something about it in Coin World but never heard anymore about it. Does anyone know what's supposed to be in it and if it's still coming with the new rules. Report this Post to the Staff
Debrajc Pillar of the Community United States 4211 Posts	Posted 08/26/2016 06:46 am Definite Travis! Beautiful for sure! I just ordered my 2016 set on Tuesday so it will be here soon. Zisky. The 2015 Limited edition silver proof set was cancelled last year and the 2016 set is still showing TBD so I am assuming it will be out later this year. Looks like the US Mint has a busy 4 months ahead of them. http://www.coinweek.com/modern-coin...-proof-sets/ Report this Post to the Staff
