    So I just picked up 2010 & 2011 silver quarter proof sets off of eBay for $83 total including shipping. That was cheaper than I could find them anywhere else, they don't come with the box or COA but I'll be busting them out to store individually anyways. I have a weakness for touching what I collect, though I do know how to handle properly without damaging from my baseball card days. I'm pretty excited, seems like a decent deal. I'm just hoping that they are all good examples that look PF68-69 to me, otherwise they'll still get stored but I'll be buying another set. I keep hearing bad things about the Mint's quality control but I think I'll be ok.

    Definitely a better deal than paying for the "PF70" slabs and getting coins thrown in for free :)

    Very nice james, congrats! Hey post photos if you can. As for handling them be VERY careful, get a pair of those cotton gloves. And so the sickness begins, Welcome to CT, it's kinda like a nice cozy padded room for most of us. If someone offers to give you a helmet TAKE IT! Anyway, welcome james it's a pleasure to meet you!
