[QUOTE="yakpoo, post: 7803598, member: 18157"]Coin collecting is like mountain climbing...it's all about what you're trying to achieve. If investment return is your goal, proofs with the fewest examples and the greatest collector base (generally older coins) is the best bet. If you're on a limited budget, but looking for potential "long term" appreciation, silver proof sets between 1992-2005 are my favorites. They are some of the most beautiful coins the Mint has ever produced. I also like the Satin-finished Mint sets issued from 2005-2010. I especially like the 2009 95% copper (bronze) Satin-finished Lincoln Cents. The proofs I most desire are proof Half Cents! :) [IMG]https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ZC63YFLVL._SL1000_.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
