<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1124115, member: 25270"]Definitely. Last year I started working on putting sets together. When silver was about $15 to $20 I finished a set of Roosevelt dimes (1946-64) and all of a set of Mercuries except the 16D and 21 D. Then I was going to move to Washington and earlier quarters and silver halves. I bought maybe 30 quarters and 10 halves, but then the price started going up again so I decided to hold off and work on some copper collections hoping it would go down again. Instead it kept going up, so lately I'm looking at foreign coins. I just want anything I can get that doesn't cost a premium. I've thought about selling some of the silver coins I bought since I could double my money, but I don't really want to break up the collections so I don't think I will. I'd just use the money to buy other coins anyway. If you have time to wait, I wouldn't buy now unless it's one of the rare varieties that won't be affected much by the value of silver.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
