<p>[QUOTE="crystalk64, post: 43547, member: 1873"]Stop Motion you have some decisions to make and they can only be made by you. Each and every one of us collect many things so what is good for me or valuable in my mind or perceived as a great investment for the future may not hold true for the rest of you. You need to focus on specific areas and stick with it! After you enjoy the hobby for a while you will learn about other coins and values and believe me you will change as you learn and as your financial status changes through the years.</p><p>If I were to answer your questions I would first say buy whatever you like, its your collection but BUY WISELY! If you are going to buy in small quanities it will save you shipping charges to pick up items from a local dealer. If you don't live near a dealer then the options are buy from the Mint, buy from a mail order national dealer or turn to Ebay and play the game like so many of us do regularly. Locate and purchase a Redbook or coin prices magazine so that you will have a reference to guide you and never quit searching for coin information! The more knowledgeable you become the wiser buyer you will become!</p><p>Now about the gold and silver eagles! They are produced as bullion investment coins. Most of us collect the silver eagles by the year and some buy extras to put away. Their prices for the most part are dictated by the market value of gold and silver! No different than the stock market! Some days are good and others, well...? Are you aware you can buy silver proof sets? While I buy both the clad proofs and the silver proofs I feel MUCH better owning the silver sets! Putting it all into perspective I would have to say it is nothing more than SUPPLY and DEMAND! If you have something everyone wants, thats a good thing but if you have something no one wants well? Good luck, make some decisions and enjoy every minute of your new found hobby! Good to have you here!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
