<p>[QUOTE=&quot;K6UA, post: 705908, member: 20905&quot;]Hi, I&#039;m brand new to collecting coins and wanted to get the expert memberships advise on 3 items I am being offered from a collector/dealer near by.&nbsp; I don&#039;t even know where to begin to do the research other than google and frankly it&#039;s been a mishmash of info on the various sites, most of which are commercial sites that I can&#039;t trust for unbiased advise.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first item I&#039;m being offered is a 20th Anniversary (2006) Silver Eagle set graded 70/70/70 by NGC with the original box and Certificate of Authenticity.&nbsp; The dealer claims it&#039;s all originally from the same set and not pieced together, but is there a way to be sure?&nbsp; More over.. is the price of $1000 fair? and do you think there is upside to this investment over the long run?</p><p><br /></p><p>The 2nd set I&#039;m being offered is the 1999-2008 Silver Proof Mint sets that also include the state quarters and all other coins issued with those sets.&nbsp; There is a big red box and inside it are smaller red boxes (the 2007 is white) and they&#039;re in good condition if a bit frayed from opening and closing, but the coins are all sealed in the original mint packaging..&nbsp; Is this worth $790 and does it represent a decent investment at that price?</p><p><br /></p><p>And lastly, I&#039;m being offered a 1996 roll of silver eagle bullion coins that are in good condition.. some have minor tarnishing..&nbsp; I don&#039;t know for sure if they&#039;re all from the same original roll or if they&#039;re pieced or cherry picked thru...&nbsp; the price is $850 for those, or about $42.50 for each coin.. is this a good price?&nbsp;&nbsp; More over, can I use tarnex on the coins that are a bit off color?&nbsp; Or is that a no-no?&nbsp; and is there any investment upside to this collection?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks a lot gentleman for the advise and I do apologize if this is all noob stuff and my questions have been answered before.. I&#039;ve tried to scan the search but had no luck getting current info.</p><p><br /></p><p>Warm Regards</p><p><br /></p><p>Sam</p><p>Phoenix, AZ[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
