homiegrubbs Valued Member United States 201 Posts	Posted 02/14/2009 6:57 pm I was just reading through my Coin World magazine and noticed that the price of a 2008 clad proof set has almost tripled. I've not heard of any reason for this increase and the only thing that comes to mind is that it's the last year of the Lincoln Memorial cent. Would this be enough reason for such an increase or is it something else? Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

Price usually jumps a little when the mint stops selling then settles down. However I am not sure what the mintage figures for the 2008 clad set are and they may be lower than normal.

wif99 Valued Member United States 377 Posts	Posted 02/14/2009 7:20 pm I just did a search of some of the dealers that I buy from and most were sold out. I searched completed ebay and saw average around $45-$50 I did see 1 dealer asking for $50 just for the Quarters and have seen some high prices for Hawaii Quarter, But no idea why?

homiegrubbs Valued Member United States 201 Posts	Posted 02/14/2009 9:26 pm After a fine cigar and a cocktail, it came to me that IGWT will now be on the obverse of the Presidential dollar coins instead of on the edge and the change to the Sacagawea "Native American" reverse designs. 2008 is the last years for six different coin designs; the pres & saq dollars & Lincoln Memorial cent.

Quote: it came to me that IGWT will now be on the obverse of the Presidential dollar coins instead of on the edge I kinda doubt that will affect the value of the Presidential dollars though.....(despite how excited the t.v. snake oil salesmen get).......it's just not a very popular coin no matter what they do to it !...

hawkeye Valued Member United States 141 Posts	Posted 02/16/2009 09:55 am I need to show my "rookie-ness"...what is a Clad Proof Set? Are they sold separately from non-clad proof sets? Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 02/16/2009 11:48 am A non-clad proof set would be the Silver Proof Set(red lens). The standard proof set(blue lens) is the same clad composition as circulating coinage. Report this Post to the Staff

Also the last year for the State Quarters. AND the lowest mintage of all the clad proof sets. I believe it is under 800,000 Report this Post to the Staff
