<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 44995, member: 68&quot;]I never suggest collecting clad for a couple reasons.&nbsp; Mostly because it seems self serving because in addition to collecting, studying, and writing about them, I also speculate in them.&nbsp; I also don&#039;t recommend them because most people simply hate the later date coins and won&#039;t consider it anyway. This time I&#039;ll make an exception because it seems you have some interest and because they aren&#039;t so far out of the mainstream anymore that they seem strange.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>On can put together sets of clads for very low cost.&nbsp; Nic pieces can be found in mint sets without tremendous effort.&nbsp; Some will take a little more effort than others but all the modern sets can be mostly fleshed out by picking over surprisingly few mint sets.&nbsp; The costs of these are quite low and with a little diligence you&#039;ll actually find some of the coins that are worth money at the current time.&nbsp; Whether you just want to collect one denomination or all of them the cost remains nominal since the parts of the sets can be sold for nearly what you paid for the entire set.&nbsp; The post 1993 sets get pretty expensive and much of the price will usually be lost when the set is cut but earlier coins aren&#039;t expensive.&nbsp; With any denomination there will be a few coins you&#039;ll have to buy as singles or rolls but most dealers are starting to stock these nowdays so it&#039;s just a matter of keeping your eyes open.&nbsp; Very ew of these costs much but expect to pay about $35 for a nice &#039;83-P quarter.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This may be a short window of opportunity to do this.&nbsp; While it&#039;s been possible for many years, there was simply no interest until recently.&nbsp; This will at some point put stress on the remaining populations of mint sets and then the window will be closed.&nbsp; Very few of the moderns are tough in choice condition and none of the regular issues is scarce in unc but many of these are much harder to find than many realize and it&#039;s possible to find many of these only because there are still so few looking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
