2nd post here, so go easy on me!

I expected the American Legacy sets to drop in price. After all, then silver premier sets of 1992 to 1998 crashed because they offered little beyond the packaging. The AL sets are similar yet they are holding their value.

I do like the packaging, and I have held off on buying any 2005 to 2008 sets until I figure out how I feel about these sets. It seems that the smart thing to do is get the silver sets plus the commemorative separately; I would have everything except the packaging, but with more silver, for about the same price. This makes sense, so why are the AL sets holding value?

Actually, the set contains about $100 in coins. HSN was selling them for $200. Right now on ebay they are selling for an average of $90.

Hopefully, you got them from the mint and not HSN.

The American Legacy sets have clad quarters, halves rather than silver, right?

This has been a small gripe with me as a set collector; the Silver/Silver Premier sets had the silver strikes of circulation coinage whereas the Prestige sets (and AL sets I think) had the commemoratives, so you kind of needed both if you were being a completionist.
