I've been only really collecting for a short time, mostly some modern commemorative items, also a few Morgans and some Jefferson nickles. I have to admit to no real direction at the moment as my budget is limited currently. I do have about 400.00 to spend on something and wonder if anyone has some suggestions on anything that would be a decent type of purchase as well as an easy re-sell IF the need arises somewhere down the road. I know that leaves a big hole in the question but I'll ask anyhow.
Can't advise you as to what you should collect. You have to make that determination yourself dear fellow..... And re-sell items? That's a real crap shoot. Get me a crystal ball......
Probably the easiest to resell would be Morgan dollars because they are collected by so many people. Chris
oh, I guess that was not the best comment as re-sell goes.. I know silver does okay re-selling, Morgans and the like.. As to mint sets, I was thinking of 09,10 and 11 mint and silver proof sets along with some more modern commems.
2010 Silver Proof Sets almost at near melt silver prices http://www.cointalk.com/t189818/ https://catalog.usmint.gov/webapp/w...ctId=15253&langId=-1&parent_category_rn=10211
Do it 'cause you like 'em and want to collect 'em. For that reason and that reason alone. Never gonna get rich flippin' these things, then again, you are a collector, right?
Oh, I'm not looking to get rich and I am a collector, I do get things because I like the look of the item I am hoping to buy. My problem is to many choices with limited funds.~~ laughs~~ I see the US Mint took their 2010's offline to re-price, will see if I can locate them elsewhere before they go up most places...
I've 2 ASE's both toning a bit as one is a 1992 unc and a 2001 unc. Both given to me as birthday presents.. Neither are graded but I like them just the same.. the 92 has some nice toning around the edges...
give me 400, what do I buy? A nice gold quarter eagle and a high grade merc, maybe have a little left over to go fishing in the junque silver.
OK ILL TELL YOU WHAT TO BUY!!!! Wait until late October and buy the 25th anniversary eagle set! It will even include a REVERSE PROOF and will contain 5 ounces of silver!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will get in line for a set of those.. as I like the reverse proof from the 06 set...~~ I was looking at some of the 2.50 gold coins and have always liked the Indians. Seems the prices on some of those are decent..
