[QUOTE="williamtipton, post: 53566, member: 815"]They had a proof set in the coin shop from one of the years. I showed it to her, but she didnt seem too interested. Id be willing to bet that over time tho that she starts to want them in better condition. These she has are UNC. but far from perfect. Ive tried to explain to her about how condition greatly affects value. a perfect coin worth hundreds or thousands might be worth a few bucks once its worn enough. Possibly that will make her more interested in the proof sets or at least look to buying them in ms 69 -70 at some point. I think I will try to see if she wants to maybe start with either euros or possibly start collecting like the best specimen of each type of US coin we can find......say one ms 70 buffalo nickle, one ms70 mercury dime, and so on. Thanks for all the help and ideas guys :)[/QUOTE]
