<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AlexN2coins2004, post: 1567719, member: 19049&quot;]I think your forgetting a few things </p><p>like the fact that some of the sets on ebay are less then top quality...there are people out </p><p>there that make it a business...they buy say 2,000 sets</p><p>they check the sets for high grade coins such as PF70 and make most their money that way...so </p><p>if they sell remaining sets for a bit less then cost it all works out in the end</p><p>I know there are other better ways to make money&nbsp; but it&#039;s what they decide to do and it works for them.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Also you do know that the recession hit millions of people pretty hard. Less money for all and </p><p>for alot of people they barely have enough money to just live on to pay the rent/house payment, </p><p>car possibly, food and heat and energy...so buying coins isn&#039;t exactly a priority...it&#039;s the </p><p>main reason that mintages for proofs and other coins are fairly low in relation to what other </p><p>past sets are...</p><p><br /></p><p>I know it&#039;s easy to get down on modern coins and say they are all crap and way over </p><p>minted...but really if your looking at it all as a sole purpose of investment your probably </p><p>gonna lose out at least short term if you need to sell...as for say a decade or 2 down the road </p><p>it&#039;s very possible that some of these &quot;crap&quot; sets are going to go up in price ALOT like the </p><p>1999 silver proof set did when it was $200...and yes it&#039;s alot lower now but as stated above </p><p>the economy isn&#039;t in good condition...high unemployment...you need food and housing more then </p><p>some collectable coins if you don&#039;t have a cash flow</p><p><br /></p><p>Also if you read what I wrote in a past posting...going off the original mint price of $31.95 </p><p>or even the present price of a silver proof set being $67.95... the 1999 proof set is still </p><p>&quot;FREE MONEY&quot;:hail:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
