<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1369233, member: 13650&quot;]Great advice.&nbsp; I was just going to say about the same thing.&nbsp; The 2011 ASE 25th set was like the perfect storm.&nbsp; The stars aligned and all indications pointed to it being wildly popular.&nbsp; The relatively low mintage made it in even higher demand where people who might not have even bought a set if they produced 500k of them, all of a sudden had to have multiples.&nbsp; On top of the people who wanted them no matter what.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The things it had going for it was the reverse proof,the first &quot;S&quot; mm ASE, low mintage, above average interest,&nbsp; large number of collectors for various reasons, widely known series, history of the 20th anniv. set... and on and on.&nbsp; &nbsp; This situation doesn&#039;t happen every year.&nbsp; Or every 5 years.&nbsp; And, it&#039;s still playing out.&nbsp; But so far, those of us who got them are very pleased right now.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The Olympic coins are at the bottom of the heap IMO.&nbsp; I personally don&#039;t have any interest in them.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think there&#039;s the demand or the collector base for them to ever be a big hit, value wise.&nbsp; But if you like them, buy them.&nbsp;&nbsp; Why would you want to pay more for something you like?&nbsp; I don&#039;t want to.&nbsp;&nbsp; If I could buy AGEs for $200, that&#039;d be great.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; The forum here has helped alert me to stuff that you might want to jump on from the mint (if you want it).&nbsp; &nbsp; There could be some smaller hits that come out, like the Lincoln chronicles set was in 09 or like the 2001 buffalo commem.&nbsp;&nbsp; But that&#039;s not the norm.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;d just stick around here, keep up on the forums and see what catches your eye.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;The big one I missed out on was the &#039;09 UHR.&nbsp; Loved the coin but it was pretty pricey.&nbsp;&nbsp; I should have pulled out all the stops and got my hands on at least two of them in hindsight but these things are hard to predict.&nbsp;&nbsp; Now one costs what you could have got two of them for when they were first issued.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
