<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gronnh20, post: 26613992, member: 73224&quot;]The premise of my post was about how rare your collection is. It&#039;s the end of the year the metals market is &quot;correcting&quot; and that concerns most folk&#039;s coin collection. I think all collectors should reassess their coin holdings from time to time.&nbsp; When silver was low is how I ended up with so many raw BU silver coins. That was the census on these boards even at that time. Monster boxes of silver eagles was the rage. That in turned opened up the numismatic coin market to cheap rare coins in plastic. I made raw coins a very small part of my collection at that time.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is different, the rise in precious metals is going to eat into the BU coin market of silver and gold.&nbsp; Up until recently the numismatic value in precious metal coins seemed a guarantee if you bought BU coins. With the grading of coins MS-66 could be the bottom of one or two silver coin series. The Roosevelt dime series was already approaching the 66 bottom. Coins without the FB/FT designation never brought book money without nice tarnish.&nbsp; Franklins will follow this path with the FBL designation. Washington quarters seem to have found a bottom at MS-65. Other series are no different.</p><p><br /></p><p>The sets I am currently working on seem to be safe from becoming bullion pieces. 2 of the 3 sets are close to finish. I&#039;ll never finish the 3rd set. I&#039;ll probably focus more on high grade coins outside those sets.&nbsp; The sets will become secondary. It may be time to finish those folders and albums of raw coins. This time with BU crackouts worth melt.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
