[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 129702, member: 705"]This question isn't one that can be answered.....no one knows what coins will go up in value and what one won't.....we don't know if the market will be up or down. In other words, I would buy coins that you like....I'm sure if you like them she will like them too. The problem with saying that the proof coins will go up is that....is that mintage/grade/demand/and such all go into the value and market of the coin....if the mint minted 100,000 and only 75,000 collectors want the coin then the price might not be too hot....but if there are 125,000 collectors wanting the coin then the price hits the moon! The coin market is risky to invest in.... You can get Proof coins slabbed....so that isn't a problem....also slabbing doesn't add to the coins history or value....any coin can be slabbed. I also have a little boy/girl coming into the world late this year (I'm the uncle) and what I might do is either get a proof set for it during the next few years or work on a set of American Silver Eagle's..... I would suggest looking around and finding coins you like....research the coin to make sure you won't be cheated--and keep on here asking questions and helping us guys with our questions!!! I hope this helps....this is one of those questions that doesn't have an end. Speedy[/QUOTE]
