<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cdc, post: 1283429, member: 33641&quot;]Thanks everybody for the replies. Interesting reading. It would be fun to make money on a hobby instead of buying a jet ski and knowing I&#039;ll lose 1/2 of it. But that doesn&#039;t sound realistic.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought in the 1970&#039;s and got tired of it sitting around so sold what I could to local dealers. Sorry to say that, as posted here, I would have done FAR BETTER if I had just bought a bag of junk silver coins for bullion than carefully selecting the best grade of low-mintage coins (like nickels) I could find. But even then, the dealer only paid 1/2 the going rate for some as they were &quot;were too worn to run through the coin machine&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I some how got on the phone with a dealer who had a 1909svbd MS 67 Red for $32,500 and 1914D MS 66 for $16,000. I&#039;m guessing from the experts here those aren&#039;t good buys?</p><p><br /></p><p>With all these stories about people losing huge amounts of money, somebody must be MAKING huge amounts selling to those people?</p><p><br /></p><p>I heard that the U.S. mint may be producing some proof set NOT available to dealers but only to the general public. That sounds okay. At least my GSA Morgan dollar went up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
