<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 8147921, member: 68&quot;]I&#039;ve been buying foreign mint sets for many years but the rarities were hard to find.&nbsp; The Indian mint sets were only a dollar or two each but I never found a single one of them and now they bring as much as $4000.&nbsp; Sure, I&#039;ve found some winners and have safety deposit boxes with all sorts of them but there&#039;s never a sure thing.&nbsp; I passed up a few Soviet mint sets because I didn&#039;t want to pay over a couple dollars for them and now they go for hundreds and thousands.&nbsp; I passed a big stack of 1982-P US souvenir sets because the guy wanted $4.&nbsp;&nbsp; I picked out a few nice ones for $5 instead.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Now days everything is speculative.&nbsp; Even bank accounts are speculative.&nbsp; There are worse things to save than nice 1959 proof sets.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s very hard to go against the common wisdom.&nbsp;&nbsp; Everyone knew that every modern was common junk so paying $5 for a set felt like sticking my neck out.&nbsp; I passed up far better deals on more expensive coins.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Buy with blood in the streets and sell when your taxi driver buys.&nbsp; Everyone will do the wrong thing but you&#039;ll be right once in a while if you just don&#039;t do whatever others are doing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
