[QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 1263390, member: 18157"]I know quite a few First Spouse collectors that couldn't keep up with the entire series and had to focus on one or the other. Most chose to keep the proofs since they looks so much nicer. Bottomline...the Uncs will be much more rare (population-wise), but the Proofs will likely have a larger Collector Base...and, therefore, command higher prices ([B]perhaps[/B]). I started the series buying two (2) of every coin. I did that as insurance against a steep rise in gold prices. As it turns out, that wasn't a bad move. I've been keeping my best coins and selling some of the others to keep up with the series. Hopefully, I'll have enough coins to finish both the Unc and Proof series and not be presented with the unpleasant task of choosing one over the other. Existing First Spouse coins have gone up quite a bit in price (over the price of gold) and there are still quite a few available due to people giving up on the series or selling either their Uncs or Proofs to focus on the other. My prediction (and I think it's a good one) is that this "availability" will dry up once the series completes...or nears completion. That's when you'll see prices begin to take off...(jmho).[/QUOTE]
