I could &quot;sneak up on them&quot; with a big purchase, like the year I completed my gold type set with a 1796 quarter eagle. I was #1 for a year for the complete U.S. gold type set from 1795 to 1933. But I couldn&#039;t stay ahead, because they can outspend me many times over. Now they are beating me with old Proof gold coins, with mintages of 20 a year, which cost $50,000 and much more.</p><p><br /></p><p>With the modern stuff, you can play the game if you are willing to pay $4,700 for a 1964 Kennedy Half Dollar. I&#039;m not, and here are plenty of other collectors on my level who feel the same way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
