[QUOTE="bigjohn56, post: 971402, member: 26928"]I have been considering the purchase of around 20 of the most common US Proof Sets from the 60s going forward. I realize they are not an investment and may never appreciate in value. My reasons for choosing them are twofold: 1) They are attractive yet inexpensive. When I was a kid I enjoyed them and still do. 2) They would be one avenue, along with US State quarters, to get a kid started in collecting. By buying a bunch of different ones at once from a dealer I would save on shipping. 20 sets, including shipping, would run about $126, or $6.30 each. Making too big of a project to accumulate them does not interest me a great deal. We can play with quarters from change to achieve that aspect of the hobby. Do you folks think this is a reasonably cost effective way to get them without a lot of shopping? Any other suggestions as to how to buy them? Actually any thoughts from you experts would be appreciated. Last night I spent some time reading forums topics and was impressed with the depth of knowledge the community has.[/QUOTE]
