<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 143189, member: 3011&quot;]I would be inclined to get one proof and one MS69, but not pay up for a first strike, first day of issue, or any of that other nonsense.&nbsp; The long term added value is questionable.&nbsp; I also don&#039;t think many people can tell the difference between a 69 and a 70 [if there is any], so I can&#039;t understand why anyone would pay for something they can&#039;t see.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is marketing, not numismatics.</p><p><br /></p><p>The MS and proof coins will be different and add variety to your collection, but it&#039;s completely a matter of taste as to what you want to buy so don&#039;t read too much into my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding your other question about gold and silver -- it is a very low probability bet that silver will ever be worth more than gold.&nbsp; Even most of the historical ratios comparing silver to gold are pretty close to useless.&nbsp; I personally think silver and silver coins will appreciate more than gold in the future, but this has to do with supply and demand factors and not historical relationships.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
