Looking at the mintage numbers for the proof silver Kennedy half, one source shows the mintage for 2015 at 387,311 and the 2016 at 353,205. Are these two numbers the final mintage numbers? |

If that's the Mint-published number I should think so, as they're no longer available.

What's your source? The 2017 Red Book says for the 2015 Ag Kennedy there were 352,450 (doesn't have 2016 numbers). |

Wikipedia, supposedly those figures are from the mint though. Maybe they were revised when the Red Book came out. Edited by jmgi

Who knows. I see figures change every year in the Red Book. Red Book should not be taken as gospel for pricing or relatively current mintage #'s. It only gets updated once a year, after all. It's just curious that the discrepancy between our two #s is around 10%. |

... and the 2016 at 353,205. The Mint is still selling 2016 Limited Edition Silver proof sets, so there isn't a final mintage for the 2016 Ag Kennedy yet. As of the last production report, the mintage is 419,127 (369,849 Ag Prf Sets + 49,278 LES sets). The Mint's production reports indicated the mintage of the 2015 Ag Proof Set at 387,311 through the end of October, but it has been reduced by 1, to 387,310, beginning with the 7 November report. The 2015 Ag set hasn't been available for awhile, so that -1 in mintage shouldn't be a return, it must be something else. Edited by BadDog

Does anyone have an opinion on where these silver proof set mintage's are headed in the years ahead? Its been a pretty steady decline for almost the last 10 years. Is this because demand continues to fall or some other reason? For those who don't believe that the silver proof dime and half from these sets are not a good thing to put money into, at what low mintage point would you think that they are?

The dime will be at a good point before the Half, there are more dime and quarter collectors than there are half dollar collectors. Personally I think there isn't any serious potential until it gets down to under 150K or so. How are the 2015 dimes from the March of Dimes set doing? That could be a leading indicator.

I had not really followed the March of Dime set until recently to be honest. The issue price was $62, and just now looking on ebay, slabbed examples of the proof 2015-W and the 2015-P in PF-70 are going for about $40-50 and $90-100 respectively. Looks like they have done fairly well so far, excluding the silver dollar from the set. |
