Thanks for all of the comments. I am not interested in making money in coins. I have a business for that. It would just be nice to not lose money on most of the mint offerings.

It is a little depressing to realize that I am on the bandwagon with millions of others who own state coins. I even take it a step further by buying all of the clad proof and silver sets. I bought the dansco that included everything. It's just weird to see the clad proof right next to the silver proof with no noticeable difference. I think the presidents set more than any other, showed how over indulgent I can be. Good lesson. :-)

the 99 silver set is valuable b/c they did not release the quarters separately. the only way to get the silver quarters was to buy the silver set. all other years offered the silver quarters separately
Actually, the 5-piece silver quarter proof set did not start until 2004. The 5-piece clad quarter proof set was available from the beginning (since 1999).

Don't be too depressed about it ! The State Quarters expanded this hobby about EIGHT THOUSAND PERCENT ! And these coins ARE popular....which means that all of these youngsters who like them now and started with them, will put 60 years of coin collecting beyond them when they started and will have these throughout their lives, cementing this series for generations and a lifetime or two to come, at the very least.
How many Grandpa's and Grandma's started these for their 8 year old Grandkids ?.....or Parents for their children ?....or Aunts and Uncles for Nieces & Nephews ? .....etc. etc. etc. These won't likely just be chucked in the trash without even the slightest sentimental feelings or "collector" intentions IMHO. No...they'll be saved, admired, and valued for many reasons, with not the least being "numismatic". This takes nothing away from Classic coins, just an "addition to" or an "expansion of".
Like it or not, there will be a certain "longevity" related to the 50 State Quarter Program, which only enhances more "Classic" coinage as well in my opinion. It's kind of new beginning for a "new age" in this hobby.
Die hard Classic lovers who absolutely hate these......well.....I hate to be blunt but.....they'll die ! And this new generation will "add these" as a component to what they like, moving forward in this hobby and proud to have what they have.

I have been putting together a NGC 70 silver State Quarter proof set.

At first it was easy & not too expensive, I should have not waited on the 99's. I had to have settled on a NGC 69 set for the 99's.

The prices seem to be very strong & going up on all of them.

That said I have 3 more of the remainder to go, 2000 NH, 2002 Ind. & Tenn.

From my observations this set, silver NGC 70 State Quarters will be a very good investment. When I get the last three I will post my costs of acquiring it.
