Top Proof Set Investments - Which Proof Sets Increased In Value ? 

Any more Mercury Dimes rolls coming in soon?

@@Timothy--vb7rr how many do you want?

I like that it's so easy to make a purchase from your website. I just bought my birth year proof set from you . Shh...don't give away my age.

@@CoinHELPu 2-4 . I checked the website Wednesday but the lady one was sold. At least 2 min.

The shop near me folded in 2015. You have been a great help in getting me interested back in the hobby. I have learned more from your Channel. Even coins I don't collect.

Thank you! You too!

Yes Only 199,000 Made

I just bought from eBay the Silver Proof Set 2003 (without the five State Quarters) for $13.50 (+ $6 shipping). :)

only ones I have! 1987 PDS mint sets and Prestige set.

Thank you!

He is a good guy to do business with. Only ordered twice but have zero complaints

@@saltshakere.coastdivision6963 thanks for that.

Smart

Why is that?

Yes, 55,000

No one can answer that, you need to lookup the potential value of each coin at PCGS or NGC price guide. I have several videos on this subject, so search my channel.

Mintages

Supply and demand rules all markets. You must have both though.

As soon as you find them.

According to Coin World there won't be a 2021 W quarter

You need to see what people are paying for these at ebay, different years have different prices.

Happy check your items on Ebay sold list

I don't have those currently but I would buy 1 oz bars, nothing larger.

I'm fixing to bust/cut open a run of proof clad/silver proof and mint sets from 1964- present for Dansco albums. Just waiting on the Dansco albums.

Adjusting for inflation is for fun and not reality.

@@CoinHELPu How so? Dollars lose value every year.

@@jeffw1267 if I buy a coin for $10 and sell it for $30 then I am putting $20 in my pocket. It's that simple. Adjusting for inflation doesn't change the $20 I put in my pocket. I still have $20 over my initial investment.

What about it?

They still exist, yes. Standard proof sets are mostly still available and not too expensive going back as far as 1956; before that is when they get quite expensive, as they were minted in much lower numbers. I personally as of now have every standard proof set from 1960 until 2023.

Got 1995, 1996, 1997 Prestige Proof Sets back 1986

Cook Island?

You need to research what they’re worth and selling for when graded.

You got to my website in the description to order from us, we don't take orders over the phone. We also have a help community where you can ask questions about collecting coins, here coinauctionshelp.com/forum/index.php

Adjusting for inflation is just for fun and not reality. If I bought a $10 coin in 1970 and I sell it now for $30 then I made a good investment. It doesn't matter how much $30 was back in the day.

@@CoinHELPu so if 10 dollars bought you a tank of gas in 1970 and today that same coin you sold for 30 buys you the same tank of gas did you really gain anything accept a nominal increase? So unless you made enough to buy more than back then you didn't actually make anything. Just because something increases nominally doesn't make it more valuable.

@@ROGUESILVER if I buy a coin for $10 in 1990 and sell it for $30 in 2020 I gained on my investment. Its how it works, this isn't about what the dollar use to buy or adjusted for inflation, that's comparing two different financial eras that can't be combined. Anytime you buy something and sell for more later you got a return for your investment.

@@CoinHELPu yes that coin went up and you made a good purchase that increased in nominal value. But $10 in 1990=$30 in 2020(as an example because I'm sure its more) so it increased in nominal value but not actual value because $10 in 1990 has the same purchasing power as $30 in 2020. So unless you made more than the rate of inflation you only made a profit nominally...not actually because of inflation. According to your video only a handful of proof sets even went up in value and adjusted for inflation you actually lost on just about all modern proof sets. Im not arguing it went up in nominal value. Im saying they didn't go up in actual value because 10=30....there is a big difference between a nominal increase and an actual or real increase in value. Its the same as buying a bond with a 1% rate and the stated inflation rate is 2%. Yes it went up in nominal value but its a negative real rate of 1%.

@@ROGUESILVER all of that doesn't matter. If I buy a coin then later I sell it for a profit then I made a return on my investment, it's that simple. Your paper math and figurative thinking doesn't take away the profit I made on that coin, because the profit I made is real time while your math is paper and not what really happened.

Not worth that, always look coins up at PCGS price guide to see if they're worth cracking or grading

Ask the dealers that are doing it, this is confusing.

Use CONECA variety vista

Thanks

If you had something from a 54 mint set, I just saw a fairly high graded nickel go for 10 grand!!

I can't tell you that, you must know how to grade, find out how much it might be worth and know how much it cost to grade. You can find all that out at PCGS website

@KENNETH COOK....You were one of the lucky ones. Still feeling "lucky" ?

@@howardk1356 Not so much.Just over paid for a privy eagle,Had to have a pcgs 70 for my collection. Comes around goes around.

Proof mark is the letter that's usually below the date or on the reverse like P D S Or W stands for West point, NY the rest are symbols of what mint they were made from..if you don't know already, happy hunting!!

Just purchased the 2017-S PCGS PR70DCAM to add to my collection! I consider myself pretty lucky to have a resource like Daniel to continually provide knowledge and insight into this great hobby I have.

But those are not regular issue and why I didn't mention them, yet.

I don't count obvious errors.

That would be PR or PF but you would look up population reports and figure the percentage of PR70 against the mintage total to get a tentative idea on that.

@@CoinHELPu I believe there are no proof 70 64 Kennedys 69 is the highest grade.

Astronomical. Good luck.

Very hard to find buyers, most dates move slowly.

The 1936 set original price was $1.89, adjusted for inflation that would be like $35 today... which considering it now sells for $6500 to $7000 would not have been a bad investment.

Waste of money when you don’t get the grade 9 times out 10 or never get the money grade.

I'm wondering if proof sets aren't picked thru before they send them to the public 😢

Unless they're rare or of a very high grade, it usually costs you more to have the coins graded than they're worth, and people aren't going to pay any more for the coin having been graded than they would have otherwise (again unless it's very rare or of a high grade).

@@michaelandrews8944 One, security is high at the mint, good luck. Two, they want people to buy them, that would be counterproductive.

Pretty much, I don't deal in modern world coins.
