<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SFDukie, post: 49463, member: 2529&quot;]Hi jblaine,</p><p>Nice gift for your grandchild!&nbsp; I have an almost three year old- buying coins for him and for my godson is part of what drew me back into numismatics after many years away.</p><p>Personally, I like the silver proof set- may or may not be more valuable in the long run, but I like the warm glow of silver.&nbsp; Numismatically, I think the commemems from 2005 are a nice addition- proof or uncirc, your choice.&nbsp; That gives your grandchild a complete type set for 2005, except the bullion coins.&nbsp; To get all of them is nice but very pricey, obviously.&nbsp; My personal choice if money is at all limited is to get the ASE- they are the prettiest, although gold is nice as well.&nbsp; I also like the idea of 100 year old coins- those are what I got for my son and godson.&nbsp; 1905 type coin in gold are fairly reasonable to acquire if they fit your budget- could get a double eagle in MS (or whatever denom fits your budget), and get a 1905 lewis and clark $1 commem or barber halves in o and s mintmarks.&nbsp; Personally, I think that would be neater than getting every variety of bullion coin or mint mark for 2005, although mint sets are relatively inexpensive as well.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
