Hello from an American living in Germany. Yes, I have ordered the 2012 limited proofset. Annie is right. So it costs more than the sum of the coins in silver proof sets plus the 2012 W Liberty. Have you ever seen a proof set limited to 50,000 sets? Just take a look at the annual 2012 Silver Proof Set selling at unheard of numbers!

To date, over 33,000 sets have been sold. Sellout probably in March/April. Thereafter, watch out for the run’

On Ebay.com, there is one of the limited set selling at the current price $175,00 with a couple of days to go. What’s the belley ache? This set is the shades of the 1999S silvet proof set, still selling for ca. $150,00. Yes, I have this one too.

We are living in uncertain times of financial stress. Never forget: Precious metals hold their price.

I collect mirror finish proofs and I especially like grouped sets. However, the price of this set is ridiculous! It looks like the mint wants the collectors to pay for all their overhead costs and to cover for money lost due to poor management decisions.

Stuart Wheeler, And your point is? I know you don’t like this set.
→ annie… your comment is retarded and usless! Obviously your not a coin collector. The mint is selling a lie. Why call this silver set Limited Edition? When Obviously is the same coin they just sold recently. There’s Nothing Limited or Special about them. (just the box wich no one care’s) Like I Mentioned before Limited Editions Special Editions should be Memorable Coins for Collectors. pay attention to Paul’s Comment and others or just try to learned the ways of collecting coins. I knew some people were going to buy this absurd 2012 Limited Edition Silver Set. (sorry thats how i feel, i was expecting more from the mint)

Hey George, Glad to hear your two cents as usual. Keep them thinking.

I recall the 60’s with Vietnam, Nixon / Watergate, Runaway inflation and Social unrest w/ burning and looting.

And of course there was the biggest issue of the 60’s… going to Clad Coins from 90% Silver.

YES give me the sixties, when collecting was a hobby not a business. You got your coins at the bank and searched for the ones you needed, or your friend needed. Now if i want to collect NP , presedents, NA, I have to buy from a dealer or the mint. You can’t even get a half dollar any more. And the mint spits out so many coins that they have to pay to store them. I’m afraid my hobby is dieing!!!

All the leaves are brown, and the sky is grey. I went for a walk on a winter’s day.

Ahh, give me the good old ’60s over today’s messy world. One could still walk into a bank and actually ask for Morgans and get them. Can you imagine?

The price sends me a message that the United States Mint knows that Silver is going to go through the roof. The Government is broke; 16 TRILLION in the hole and failing. When Soros and Paulson go big into metals…something only big money knows, is beginning to happen.
