<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 1358505, member: 68"]I've always believed and still believe that coin collecting will be a mass hobby and there's little alternative to people collecting these moderns.

When the demand materializes more than half these sets will be gone. This doesn't mean they'll be valuable but it's hard to picture them being worth a few times face value as they are now. I imagine there will be an active and large market in all the individual coins and sets. These will be great starter sets of high quality for beginners. </p><p><br /></p><p>Don't buy them for investment or you might wait longer than reasonable or they might "spoil" in your garage when you run out of storage room.
