<p>[QUOTE=&quot;andrew289, post: 268606, member: 6463&quot;]Welcome to the hobby. The first thing I would do when talking about the president dollars is to remove the word &quot;investing&quot; from your vocabulary. You invest in gold, silver in platinum you don&#039;t invest in mass produced mixed metal cylinders...lol.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It&#039;s fine to put back a roll from each mint. I&#039;m doing the same. While you don&#039;t have control over the mint mark that you get from the bank, you can predict where they are from unless you live along the Mississippi River. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you are in the civilized east, they will be P minted. If you live in the wild west, they will be D minted. If you are in the indifferent middle like Illionis...you might get some of both. I&#039;ve seen both there and in Missouri.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you have already received your proof president, I would open them up to make sure they look ok. There were issues with the early deliveries but the last batch I got were pristine. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It&#039;s fine to take the $430.00 that you will spend each year and put yourself back some coins if you can afford it. I don&#039;t think you will get any appreciation in your life time though but they will be nice to have and pass down to the kids and grandkids so that they can learn about the presidents. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I might make one suggestion. I would get one more roll from your bank..and crack it open. Go out and get a couple inexpensive whitman albums. The one I&#039;m using has only one hole per president. Most have a space for P&amp;D but i don&#039;t want to go through the trouble or expense of hunting down D mints and I don&#039;t want to pay more than face for them. Open up your roll, get a couple albums and start filling them. You might find that you enjoy them more. Also, when each new issue comes out ..make a conscious descision to sit down for 2-3 hours at the computer and do a google search on the President that just came out. You will learn new things that you didn&#039;t know before and after all thats why this series is being struck.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Enjoy the coins but remember they are not investments...just coins for the vending machine. It&#039;s ok to spend them also.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
