<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Erik, post: 1606145, member: 38862&quot;]I got to thinking the other day, &quot;Man, I wish I had been alive 80 years ago when all these fantastic coins were in circulation and you could obtain them easily from other collectors for relatively cheap..&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p>So, then I started thinking, &quot;Man, what am I going to wish I had collected and snatched up in 50 years, when I&#039;m old..?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>So, what about the Presidential Dollar Coins? A PF69 Ultra Cameo set is rather cheap to obtain, running about ~200 bucks, slabbed and shipped. Even a PF70 UC set isn&#039;t a ton more &gt;1k, if you&#039;re patient. Slabbed MS65+ are 5 dollars and up..a pretty easy set to make in high grade, right? </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some points I keep coming back to.. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>On the negative side.. </p><p><br /></p><p>-I&#039;ve heard tell of warehouses full of these coins sitting there, just sitting there..like a puppy at a pound, waiting for someone to come pick them up. </p><p><br /></p><p>-The threat of suspending the series(might never get off the ground).</p><p><br /></p><p>-They&#039;re really not a pretty coin, IMHO. The reverse is so, blah.. again, just my .02. </p><p><br /></p><p>On the positive side.. </p><p><br /></p><p>-There&#039;s talk about removing the dollar bill from circulation, assuming this happens, I imagine that older dollar sets, Presidential, Sacagawea, Ike&#039;s, so on, would tend to become more desirable(even though some of those series are admittedly ugly). </p><p><br /></p><p>-This series, individual of the others in a lot of ways, appeals to history/presidential buffs as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>-The threat of suspending the series(makes it more collectible, I think?). </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So, what do you guys think? Am I just overthinking it? </p><p><br /></p><p>Or is this really a set worth pursuing because it&#039;s likely to increase in value? Or a set worth pursuing only because you&#039;d care to pursue it? </p><p><br /></p><p>Appreciate your thoughts. </p><p><br /></p><p>-Erik[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
