<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 269682, member: 3726"]To address the original question - yes I have collected moderns from the get go with the mint. I would by no way call it investing - unless you consider losing money investing. I have collected at least 1 1/10 oz. proof silver, gold and platinum eagle from the the start. I do not think some of them have recovered from my purchase price. I like the coins and these are sets I will keep up. So as said earlier subtract investing from the equation - I know someone might make money on what I am collecting, but probably after I am dead. So I do it for the enjoyment. What happened last year with the silver eagles is the exception and not the rule. Now if you want to collect the prez dollars - go for it! Just do not expect to make money - does not mean you won't, just be prepared to have them only be worth a dollar each. To hard to say at this point.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
