<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 1455625, member: 36248&quot;]Since I pretty much only buy Kennedy&#039;s I feel I can offer something here:</p><p><br /></p><p>(1) You are correct, Kennedy prices have gone up over past few years, as I have purchased every single proof coin except the 1998 SP, and all these purchases were last few years.&nbsp;&nbsp; BUT, the increase in prices is limited to the Silver coins, and the only reason they are going up is the price of silver IMHO.&nbsp;&nbsp; When silver goes down, Kennedy silver proof will likely go back down a bit.</p><p><br /></p><p>(2) Most <u>clad</u> TPG coins can be purchased for ~$10.00 shipped if you look hard enough.&nbsp; This is my actual average price, not a guess.</p><p><br /></p><p>(3) Most <u>silver </u>TPG coins can be purchased for 20.00 shipped (on average).&nbsp; But, several years ago I was paying $15.00, now I am paying $22.00 when I look hard.</p><p><br /></p><p>(4) I hope that more people are liking Kennedy, since I like them.&nbsp; But I am thinking we are not quite there yet.&nbsp;&nbsp; Ike&#039;s are the new darling, and it will take a few more years for Kennedy to have his turn (my guess).</p><p><br /></p><p>(5) Per my previous posts, a problem with the Kennedy Proofs would be the newer proofs and the horrible etched frost and super-thin relief.&nbsp;&nbsp; The newer coins just dont look as nice as the older coins.&nbsp; Luckily, everything is readily available.&nbsp;&nbsp; But the newer coins might turn some people off the series who are not already committed.</p><p><br /></p><p>(6) If someone pays $30.00 for a coin that someone else can find for $20, it really doesnt matter.&nbsp;&nbsp; Some people get deals some of the time, and some people overpay some of the time.&nbsp;&nbsp; As long as you are happy with the purchase, and can afford the purchase, it shouldn&#039;t matter either way.&nbsp;&nbsp; I personally will wait months or years to find a coin for $20 rather than $30.&nbsp;&nbsp; But thats because I have a very small coin budget and want to maximize my spending.&nbsp; Someone who wants the coin now and will pay $30, I say more power to you.&nbsp; &nbsp; Someday I hope that&#039;s me.&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
