If we think about it, the only current coin that hasn't had the snot beat out of it since SQ's began (that's 1999) is the dime. Except for the silver-to-clad transition in 1964/1965, it's been consistent for 63 years. Even the Bicentennial didn't affect it one iota. Maybe I shouldn't say anything, though. Congress might want a pat on the back for the good job they do, and direct the Mint to do a Congressional Commemorative for all Senators and Representatives since 1789.

Well, my "Formative Years" Lincoln rolls were shipped the other day, instead of July as was originally stated, so maybe the mint has hired more staff in their shipping department? Anyway, I think I will hold off and get the silver proof set this year, even though I'll imagine it will be priced at least $49.95. I have already bought a clad territory quarters proof set so don't want to get two again. |

2009 Proof Set Bigger and Costlier
The US Mint needs better proof set options. Look at all the nice sets
you can buy from British Royal Mint or Royal Canadian Mint. They have stunning $100+ proof sets. There should be an annual option of a delux proof set with all silver commems in it from the year...with a special mint mark or something. |

They used to sell Prestige proof sets that had the commemorative coins released that year, or at least some of them. |
