Well there is a person selling 4 sets between 1994-1996 looking for best offer. This LINK gives an accurate description of what I am referring too. It looks similar to yours. I have contacted the seller and awaiting to hear back.



Honestly, I think that's a waste of time and money for the price. $105 for 3 90%silver coins (dime, quarter, half dollar)? You could buy two Silver Eagle proofs for that price and have two ounces of bullion in the process. Just my $.02. But if you are doing it merely for the collecting aspect, by all means. Proofs are proofs. I just wouldn't spend that much for that little silver but then again my investing purpose is not totally geared towards collecting for collecting's sake but rather quality and content.

The seller I was looking at was on Craigslist and they said they would take best offer. So I don't know what I could bargain the price at with them, though I would not pay $105 for 5 1994 coins. As the seller has yet to contact me back it appears this effort will be for nil.

Question about your Silver eagles, did you purchase those through the mint or have you did you buy those through a different route? I acquired a 1987 silver eagle this past weekend from a collection my late grandmother put together. I had no interest in those until I acquired one.

Another Silver Eagle question...

How come they (APMEX) sell them Uncirculated around $35. LINK

Then they sell them certified and rated for around $40 and higher. LINK

It seems like the Uncirculated would be worth more. What am I missing?

And I just used 2007 as my example because that was the latest year they had in stock in both. But even random year of their choosing on rated ones, the price is ~$40.
