      There's just not much margin on them to be made anymore; most don't seem interested unless they predate about 1955.

    Excellent information. Consider this: If the high rate of breaking out coins from proof and mint sets continues, a complete proof set or mint set in OGP may well become a rarity. Plus if more completist type collectors come into the market place, demand for modern proof coins most likely would increase. Investing in Proof sets is a long long hold. If you can snare the silver sets cheap and have the room, probably a safe bet, otherwise an investment in the stock market, or a MS classic oldie would have performed much better. Proof set coins and mint set coins are such a thing of timeless beauty, and perfection, that they can really demand our appreciation.

    Hi Daniel, I used to collect both silver and clad proof sets. But when I took my clad proof sets to my local coin shop they were not interested, so I sold them on craigslist and recouped some of my money back. now I only collect the silver, that way they have at least the value of silver. I believe that the mint produces a much higher quality of coins in the silver sets compared to the clad. Someday I would love to see you do a video on native American coins. I have been collecting them since 2000.
    Thanks Daniel

    I bought 20 silver proof sets (red boxes) from the mint. I was shocked they started selling for less a couple of years later. When silver prices started going up, they went back up too. I sold all sets just to break even.
    Moral of the story is, if you just want fantastic coins to look at, this is great. Don't buy them to turn a profit.

    My wife's grandfather had tons of these. After he passed away we helped her mom go through all of his stuff, and he had boxes and boxes of proof sets, silver proof sets, and stuff from Franklin mint. He collected everything, coins, baseball cards, anything he thought would be of more value some day. If I could go back in time I'd tell him to forget the proof sets and stack some Eagles, or Morgans, or bullion bars instead, lol.

    Very informative video. I bookmarked it. I personally have only bought one proof set, the 2019 silver, because it was the first year they did the half, quarter, and dime in .999 silver. To be honest, I personally don't care about any coin minted after 1964, unless it is at least 90% silver. I may even crack open that proof set and send the silver coins in to be graded. Again, thanks for the video. It will help me to stay away from any proof sets that don't contain at least 90% silver coins.

    This reminds me of the boom in 90’s comics. Everyone noticed they could be collectibles and therefore massed produced them. Making them very common. I could still buy X-men comics from the 90’s for $5. But proof sets to me are something to admire and look at. They are beautiful and just to know they haven’t been in anyones pocket and they are the best condition coin you can get.

    When they started producing proof sets for collectors the value in them went down because they became common like the uncirculated, there was no special rarity in them anymore. Proofs are as readily available as BU now, that is my opinion anyways. Like you said, only early ones and specialty/limited ones are worth a premium now.

    Hard to swallow but it does make sense. "Silver Proof" sets are not for investing. I started buying the annual sets from the U.S. Mint, both the Silver Proof sets and the American Eagle Silver Proof back in 2000. Not as a "collector" really, but as an investment. Just seemed logical, such beautiful coins would have to be worth more years from now, right? Nope. Unless the price of silver soars dramatically. Better off buying low-premium bullion and actually saving money.

    I like collecting proof sets. No matter what coin you have, you will always get less than what you paid for them when you sell them. It's a hobby only. I remember buying gold coins at a coin shop. Then my dad needed tires on his car. So I had to sell my gold to help him get the tires. I got about half of what I paid because I didn't realize that they were cleaned with steel wool. He really ripped me off. Sold junk for a premium then gives you nothing when you sell to him. So again, it's just a hobby and hobby only. So don't spend more than what you can afford to lose.

    • @CoinHELPu

      It's a longer term hobby. I've watched coins grow in value since I was in grade school. I grew up flea marketing and garage sales, dumpster diving. I've basically been a collectibles dealer all my life, but coins have stood the test, especially gold and silver coins. When I first started ebay you could buy $20 gold coin for around $700, now you can't touch one for much less than $2,300. So you do this long term.

    I like them. Low mintage alone is worth having them. I have all proof sets from 54 to 2021. Broke open put into 2x2s and in notebook binders. They are the most detailed of coins. You collect uncerculated and business coins due to low mintages. Proofs are lower and quality of coin is better for the price. I dont understand the hype of not collecting them myself. Maybe because they keep getting a negative review. I will collect them.

Even LESS than the Mint originally sold them for! Don't even get me started on the first (2000, 2001) Sac dollars! You can see people thinking they are worth $100's when in fact, most of them are only worth face! Good info!

    Ya it’s a shame proofs aren’t as popular as they once were. Proof coinage are truly the closest representation of the artists’ work. I feel with the increase in mintage numbers, decrease in the hobby in general, and lack of precious metal content involved all played a part in the devaluation of modern proof sets. I’m currently putting together a 20th century proof type set PCGS. It amazes me how expensive some of the earlier ones are. For instance the Morgan proofs from 1900-1904 range in the lower grades 2-4K. However it makes sense because of things such as their mintage of anywhere from 550-650 coins barely. Anyway, just my two cents!

      If you're trying to get someone started in coin collecting, the good news is most proof sets since 1968 are quite inexpensive (1964 and earlier get a little more expensive, and anything before 1955 is very expensive). It's an interesting way to get started.

    Is 1776-1976 Bicentennial 6 coins proof set minted in San Francisco (S) marked are 40% silver clad? Another CZcams coin commenter told minted in 1976s Bicentennial coins are 40% silver. I have three sets bought cheap on eBay. Pretty shinny still without tarnish/haze/oxidation. I sealed the sets immediately with Hefty zip bags with dehumidifier silicone gel pack to absorb air and moisture.

    People who accumulate things as an investment need to pay close attention to supply and demand. Some things that are very rare can become almost worthless when demand for it evaporates. The supply can be very small, but sometimes the demand is even smaller.
    Investors and hoarders have always tampered with collector markets by artificially creating shortages and over supplies. When I was 12 years old, a 1950-D Jefferson nickle sold for around $20, which really means $172 in 2019 dollars. This was the rarest Jefferson nickle with only 2.6 million being minted, so people were hoarding uncirculated rolls.
    Today 58 years later you can buy an uncirculated one for just around $10. What happened? Well, it seems there aren't 2.6 million people who collect Jefferson nickles. At least not enough willing to pay a huge premium for the rarest one. So the price plummeted as the hoarders flooded the market with perfect uncirculated coins, as they tried to get out before they became worthless.
    This isn't a problem for coin collectors only. All collectibles have dropped in value as the hobby becomes less popular with young people. When I was young, every kid collected coins and stamps. Today, kids play video games and you only see old men at stamp and coin shows. Your grandmothers collection of Hummel figurines is worth a lot less today than it was 30 years ago.

    If you're just collecting them because you like having them, what difference does it make what they'll be worth in the future? I'm a coin collector, not an investor; what they'll be worth in the future will be my heirs' problem, not mine.

    Do you have your own collection? I listened to coinweek podcast episode and that dealer has a personal collection. I am really curious as to dealers and if they collect and how they seperate their collection from their business. Thanks for the video. I try to collect modern silver proof set and I am not really looking to make money off of them because I like them. This years is .999 as I am sure you know.
