<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bob Evancho, post: 3515678, member: 84595&quot;]Well sort of.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been collecting coins for 64 years.&nbsp; I&#039;m also obsessive compulsive.&nbsp; I like Morgan and Peace dollars and putting an average set of any coin series together and am on a limited budget.&nbsp; My goal was to put one complete set of Morgan and Peace dollars together in the early 1970&#039;s.&nbsp; I bought the rare ones when I could afford them.&nbsp; I figured these would be my retirement.&nbsp; So my fine 1893-S Morgan cost me $525. My XF 1894 ran under $100.&nbsp; 1928 Peace dollar Unc. $100.&nbsp; Then I wound up with some extra Morgan and Peace dollars.&nbsp; I bought more books and decided to put more sets together.&nbsp; The Government now releases bags of the rare O mint which I didn&#039;t get as yet.&nbsp; I bought a roll of 1904-O for $25.&nbsp; Then decided on 12 1903-O&#039;s for $12.50 each.&nbsp; Over the years one set with out the 95 proof turned to 11 sets of Morgans and 12 sets of Peace.&nbsp; I kept thinking the older lower mintage coins would increase in value for retirement.&nbsp; I have no modern high grade coins since I&#039;m not confident there will only be a few.&nbsp; There could be many coming when other collectors get them graded in the future.&nbsp; But How many 93-S Morgans will there be and how many will be destroyed?&nbsp; I liked to read the History of coinage, study die characteristics and look for or cherry pick bargains over the many years of coin collecting.&nbsp; I will still buy a low mintage Key coin when the price is right or cherry picked.&nbsp; And Yes I still buy key coins thinking they will increase in value.&nbsp; Happy coin collector.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
