[QUOTE="EdThelorax, post: 3355911, member: 99854"]1) Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I often prefer the look of an AU coin over a blazing 64. 2) I think the CC's would be a good subset with future demand. Affordable is relative. 3/4) Usually the sum is lesser than the parts. A buyer would get a price break from buying the whole set at once. A subset gives you a goal, completing it won't give you extra value. 5) This is very important. PCGS seems to go for more because it's a popularity contest. BUY THE COIN, not the holder!!!! You are way better off with a PCI labeled MS62 with a 64 coin in it than a correctly graded NGC 63. Or a 63 with eye appeal than an ugly 64 from the same TPG IMHO. Get real good at grading a series, and buy under-graded coins for your best chance at profit. 6) Start accumulating .999 silver as a long term investment and coins that you like for enjoyment and some potential future price appreciation. I get as much enjoyment out of my one naturally retoned AU cleaned Morgan as I do out of my 1/2 full books. Like Jeff said, "Whenever you're considering an "investment" in coins of [I]any[/I] sort, keep in mind that the cards are stacked against you." And "Welcome to CT!"[/QUOTE]
