<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 1375929, member: 68&quot;]I don&#039;t want to discourage you in any way. However it should be considered that two mint sets out of three are very mediocre.&nbsp; For some dates it&#039;s even worse and the typical set won&#039;t have any really nice coins in it.&nbsp; Almost all proof sets have multiple very nice specimens.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My point is simply that if you have the opportunity to pick through mint sets you can acquire nice ones and skip the poor ones altogether.&nbsp; The risk here is you might never find a nice one before the price increases substantially and that you&#039;ll end up pay significantly more to buy nice sets since most sellers will want a higher price for cherried sets.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The nice thing about buying the whole run is you get to see about what they look like right away and if the price goes up you&#039;ll have something to trade for a nicer set.&nbsp; What I&#039;d suggest is go ahead and buy the run and then work on upgrading.&nbsp; Most of the cost is up front.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Some of these sets sell for close to face value so the cost is really rather nominal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
