samuel tan Valued Member United States 322 Posts	Posted 05/21/2010 01:24 am Why Mint Silver Proof 1999 9 pcs cost a lot more than 2000 10 pcs? After that 2001 and 2002 rather high, then 2004, 2005, 2006 plunge down again? anybody can explain to me? Thank you very much. Report this Post to the Staff

KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 05/21/2010 08:31 am For whatever reason, not many people bought the Silver Proof Sets in 1999. Myself included unfortunately. Then, as the State Quarters series became more popular, people wanted to have a complete set of silver proofs and the demand drove the price up.

eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 05/21/2010 09:02 am FYI........This is not likely to repeat itself for the new Parks Qtrs 11 year series.....anything is possible though of course. First year (Inaugural) issue materials sometimes do carry premiums.....but certainly not always. The other years you mentioned, sometimes "low mintage" coins will drive up premiums as well.

These 5-piece silver quarter sets create additional supply for those building the Statehood Quarter sets.

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5822 Posts	Posted 05/21/2010 2:25 pm The Mint imposed a 2 sets limit per household at the time when I ordered, after 1999 they lift that limit. Report this Post to the Staff
parkquarters Valued Member United States 442 Posts	Posted 05/21/2010 5:50 pm Simply because the 1999 silver set has been out longer than the rest of the State Quarter years and that it was the 1st year in the series ! Report this Post to the Staff
