[QUOTE="Luis, post: 522738, member: 17336"]Hi I just moved to the States and I decided to begin collecting Silver Dollars. However, I'm not very sure I started the right way. So far, I bought the UNC Dollar sets of 2007 and 2008 from the US Mint, thinking it would look kinda nice when the presidential dollars are through. Now I see no plans for the US Mint to make a 2009 UNC silver dollar :desk: Also, I bought a Proof Lincoln dollar. My plan was to buy the UNC version of the "normal" dollars everytime they come out, and also, budget permitting, start working backwards and collect a smany years and mints I can, as long as I can afford at least an XF. Does this sound wise or absolutely dumb? When deciding between UNC and Proof, what's the rule of thumb? Bare in mind I do this basically as a hobby, not as an investment, but it feels better when you know you're actually putting your money on something that is gonna increase more in value. Thanks.[/QUOTE]
