[QUOTE="barmybrummie, post: 428478, member: 13547"]Hi Thanks guys. Interesting to read your comments. I was asking about the books more for reference than for pricing as such. I just wanted something that could help me identify what exists and can be collected. I am guessing from what you are saying that with these modern sets there is no infallible guide. Also to further what has been mentioned. I guess I may be a little odd but I am collecting these coin sets not so much as an investment for the future but more because of the fact that I just enjoy collecting :cool:. I tend to collect what interests me. I've been collecting coins and bank notes for over 30 years. Mainly in the last 10 years or so I have been focusing on UK proof sets and medieval English coins. But as I just hit forty (DOB 1968) I thought for the next few years I'm going to also focus on collecting world coin sets from my year of birth. Sad I know but... well it floats my boat... Don't get me wrong I understand the reason for needing to know the value of what you are buying. At the end of the day I buy what I can afford. If I can't afford it then it does not matter how desirable to me it might be...[/QUOTE]
