[QUOTE="cladking, post: 3145657, member: 68"]I would never invest in any coin (again). However, for those foolish enough to try an old maxim of stock trading still holds true: In order to sell high you must first buy low. Most proof sets have never been cheaper. These have been getting cut up in massive numbers since the day they were made. I'd guess about 30% of the early dates have been lost to fire and flood (etc) and nearly half the rest have been destroyed. Once they are destroyed many of the coins will be degraded from improper handling. Don't get too carried away hoarding these. They are beautiful and it's easy to imagine the prices increasing substantially but it could be years and these take up a lot of room. There's no certainty they'll increase. Of course now days the stock market is more like gambling than an investment and everything else is dangerous.[/QUOTE]
