[QUOTE="Silvergmen, post: 4833852, member: 114357"]I'm about 40 coins into a 98 coin Whitman Morgan set. It is worth noting that i bought about 20 of them raw, and 20 slabbed....but i have cracked open (Gasp!) all of them except one and they all live happily together in my album. So far, all of the coins fall between MS 60-65. As you could probably guess, i have very few of the scarcer/highly valuable ones. But, i am getting ready to purchase more of them soon. My goal for the collection is two fold, i do love the coins and enjoy collecting them but also want to have the collection to retain or grow in value for my children that i will one day pass them down to. So, here is the part where i need advice. Two questions: 1) Given i love my coins in the album (key factor for me) but also don't want to be foolish with very expensive coins... what is the recommendation of which coins to not jail break? Thus far, its just been any coin i believe to be worth over $300 has been my rule. Interested to hear your opinions. 2) My goal is to hold out/save up for even the most expensive coins and get them in MS. I realize i will likely fall short on a few of them. That said, any advice on approach based on the fact that i want to maximize future value? Thanks for any help in advance![/QUOTE]
