<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 203458, member: 68&quot;]I suspect this is an especially bad problem for the mint sets since there are</p><p>so many inferior coins in them.&nbsp; About two out of three mint sets have at</p><p>least one nice coin but if you&#039;re looking for a specific gem then you&#039;ll usually</p><p>have to look at forty or fifty sets.&nbsp; This means sets with any nice coins are</p><p>always in danger of being snatched off the market permanently.&nbsp; With large</p><p>numbers of the sets already gone, what will be left in twenty years except</p><p>a few very bland and picked over sets.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>These sets might not be overly difficult to counterfeit but they will be much </p><p>more difficult than most people seem to think.&nbsp; The real difficulty will be in find-</p><p>ing the coins so there may not be a lot of profit in it anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>Proof sets can be counterfeited as well but it may not be economical since </p><p>there is simply no substitute for proofs.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There probably will be a premium for sets but there will be a larger premium </p><p>for gems.&nbsp; it might be wiser to try to set aside better sets rather than large</p><p>numbers of sets.&nbsp; Quality sets will probably get an even larger premium over</p><p>the quality premium.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
