<p>[QUOTE="VNeal, post: 1369627, member: 34434"]My dad collected mostly silver coins in the 60s when I was a young boy. He had hundreds, thousands of silver half dollars, dimes and morgans. He also bought MINT and PROOF coin sets from the Mint through about mid 70s. His silver collection was mostly for the bullion value. As a young kid I was mostly amazed at the shiney PROOF SETS even though there were more dollars in the silver collection. I spent alot of the silver coins late 60s on candy. When he passed away in the 2003 I inherited alot of Mint and Proof sets which oddly enough did not thrill me. I think my dad cashed in the silver hoard. I sold all the Mint Sets and bought my daughter a car. I got the Morgan bug and completed a MS set of raw Morgans with all but three key coins were missing. I sold the set late 2004 and now have the bug again. I currently collect only slabbed Morgans. I particularlly like unusually toned or rainbow versions. I don't collect them but really like BUFFALOS, and MERCURYS. My suggestions to those who collect is to channel in on something you like and concentrate on the KEY DATES because these hold their value the most and are the most demanded coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
