<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Exchequer, post: 1203330, member: 21087&quot;]Like others have said, collect what makes you happy.&nbsp; I will throw out a word of caution about modern mint sets, though....some people believe they are an &quot;investment&quot; that in a few years will be worth far more than they paid for them.&nbsp; Not true because they are produced by the bazillions.&nbsp; They actually go down in price on the secondary market (coin shows).&nbsp;&nbsp; But if you like them, by all means collect them--just realize that in this lifetime, they will not appreciate in value to any degree.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other advice, which you may realize, is never buy a &quot;rare collectible coin set&quot; from the Home Shopping Network....</p><p><br /></p><p>On edit: I should clarify on the Mint Sets.&nbsp; I was speaking of the clad versions as being a poor investment...no intrinsic value there.&nbsp; I think the silver sets are OK...at least they will track the melt value of the silver.&nbsp; I bought my complete state quarters silver set (piecemeal) just before silver went way up, so I&#039;m doing OK on those.&nbsp; Bought them because I like the designs, not just for a silver investment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
