<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 571677, member: 13650&quot;]I second the MS63 Franklin set.&nbsp; I&#039;m putting one together myself, in an Intercept Shield album.&nbsp; I&#039;ve got 15 to go.&nbsp; It hasn&#039;t been my main focus because I&#039;ve been going after other things.&nbsp;&nbsp; But there&#039;s a lot of reasons to like the Franklin set. </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;For one, almost all of them are still relatively inexpensive in high grades.&nbsp; They&#039;re easy to find.&nbsp; Some a little tougher.&nbsp;&nbsp; They&#039;re one of the easiest coins to grade IMO.&nbsp;&nbsp; Big open fields.&nbsp;&nbsp; Franklin either has wear on his head or not.&nbsp; The bell lines look sharp or they&#039;re not.&nbsp;&nbsp; And then I just look for full mint luster and try to find one with the fewest bag marks, if any at all.&nbsp; That&#039;s where it gets tough.&nbsp; Most of them have a bag mark/ding in them somewhere.&nbsp; Finding one that doesn&#039;t is the challenge.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;Prices on these could go up simply based on their bullion value in the future, in comparison to what you pay for them now.&nbsp; They have a relatively low premium over their spot value.&nbsp; Even in high grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Don&#039;t get your hopes up of her following through with the hobby &#039;non-stop&#039;.&nbsp;&nbsp; I really got into it as a kid (despite having very little guidance because nobody in the family collected).&nbsp;&nbsp; But when I got into my mid teens, I forgot all about it.&nbsp; Never gave coins a second thought for 14 years!&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The passion just came back to me last year.&nbsp;&nbsp; So if she loses interest, don&#039;t get discouraged.&nbsp; It may come back if you light a spark one more time.</p><p>&nbsp; Although it may be a good idea to not give her control of the more important stuff until later in life.&nbsp;&nbsp; Or it&#039;ll be sold for peanuts in the teen years and you&#039;ll never know.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Just my opinion.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; My young step sister couldn&#039;t even discipline herself enough to leave a state quarters set intact without spending them.&nbsp;&nbsp; She certainly didn&#039;t need to.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
