2008 United States Silver Proof Set - 14 Pieces - Extremely low mintage, hard to find. Many people ask why the 2008 set is so much higher priced than the other near dates. It had a slightly lower mintage, but not drastically. Well I just researched this as I too was very curious and here is the answer. The mint shut down sales of the set in June, 5 months earlier than usual and although the mintage of 1.5 million pieces seems near par with the 2-3 million pieces of other near dates, with the mint shutting down sales and many folks who were collecting the whole series, (this was the final piece to the 50 state quarter series) getting shut out, they immediately went to the secondary market. But most of the 1.5 million sold by the mint went to collectors who bought them to keep and did not sell them into the secondary market. So you basically had a shortage of about 1/2 to 1 million sets below demand. The Set contains 5 90% Silver Proof Quarters, a 90% Silver Proof Kennedy Half Dollar, a 90% Silver Proof Roosevelt Dime, 4 Proof Presidential Dollars Including the Inaugural first 4, Washington through Madison, as well as 3 additional Proof coins Including the Sacagawea Proof Dollar coin. This set contains about 1 1/2 ounces of pure silver. Complete with Original Packaging and COA.
