<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 1240176, member: 10103&quot;]If you leave &quot;investment&quot; out of the mix, then you&#039;re sure to have a good time collecting these earlier issues Ryan.&nbsp; The values on these goes up and down like the tide water.&nbsp; Buy &#039;em because you like &#039;em and not because they&#039;re going to appreciate in value down the trail.&nbsp; Grab an old Red Book from the eighties to get an idea of what these coins were going for back then.&nbsp; Many times you will see that the prices back then are more expensive in comparison to what you can pick one up for today.&nbsp; Now I know we don&#039;t rely on Red Book to give us an up to the minute price on any given issue, but it can be used as a basis for figuring out what things went for during an particular time frame.&nbsp; Here&#039;s an example.....In the 1987 Red Book an 1936 York County Maine Tercentenary is listed at $975 in MS-65. I recentley picked one up in January (PCGS &#039;65) for $231.&nbsp; &quot;That Smarts&quot; for the poor fellow that bought back at that time paying at or near such a price.&nbsp; If you are patient you can pick up a lot of classic commem&#039;s for a fraction of what they used to go for.&nbsp; OK.&nbsp; Enough pontificating.&nbsp; Here&#039;s my &quot;Maryland&quot;.......</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]132748.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS MS-64[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
