Message:: [QUOTE="RobertAPearce, post: 1377515, member: 35828"]A Big THANK YOU to everyone who responded. I decided NOT to buy this run of Proof Coins, and am going to check with one of my local coin shops. I collect for the fun of having them, not for their future value. Although I do realize if I hold on to them, and leave them to my only child, my daughter, she may choose to either keep them for her kid(s) or sell them for profit at a later date. I visited a local coin shop a couple of months ago when I had pulled out the collection and decided to start doing inventory, and organization. Before, it had only resided as mostly loose coins in a couple of boxes. Turned out, that I have known a guy working there on and off for the past 40 years. We weren't "Pals", but I've known him since High School. It's just about the only coin shop on "my" side of town, the others being several miles further away. I thought instead of going for this Mint/Proof runs on eBay, that I'd visit the shop and see what they have. I know the owner travels to coin shows, and I can give them the task of finding me some good Mint Sets to add to my collection. I'll see what their prices would be for something like this, and maybe they have Mint Sets already at the shop for me to choose from. Just want to add some luster to my collection. I'm so glad I joined the group on CoinTalk! I appreciate all the information and opinions you all have given me. Thank you again, Robert[/QUOTE]
