<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 2581557, member: 5233&quot;]So, when my first son was born 2 years ago...I wanted to purchase some kind of coin related item, tied to the year of his birth that I could save and give him when he was older.&nbsp; Originally, I wanted to purchase something of significant value...my plan was a Proof 1oz Gold Eagle.&nbsp; Unfortunately, at the time (this was summer of 2014)...I was still in my first year or business and we had yet to turn a profit.&nbsp; The money simply wasn&#039;t available.&nbsp; But, I wanted to do something.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Being extremely budget limited, I thought something simple like a proof set would be good.&nbsp; Nice proof examples of all the circulation coins minted during the year of his birth.&nbsp; But, that alone seemed a too weak.&nbsp; I wanted something with a little more inherent value...and I wanted something I could easily purchase again if we had more children (which we were planning on having).</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I ultimately decided to purchase him two items.&nbsp; I liked the idea of the proof set...because he would have an example of each coin from the year of his birth.&nbsp; But, I decided to go for the silver proof set.&nbsp; I also bought him a proof ASE.&nbsp; I figured a full silver ounce would be a nice addition to the silver proof set and together those items wouldn&#039;t break the bank.&nbsp; So, I purchased a 2014 Silver Proof Set and a 2014 Proof ASE for my son Owen.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, fast forward almost two years later and we had a second son this last April...Oliver.&nbsp; Well, Oliver got the same thing.&nbsp; I order a 2016 Silver Proof Set and a 2016 Proof ASE.&nbsp; I think they will be nice keepsakes for them once they get older.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
