[QUOTE="smullen, post: 509534, member: 5165"]I have a friend of a friend who has lost interest her Coin collection and is giving me 1st crack at it, before she takes it to a coin shop to see what they'll give her... From looking at what she has, most of it looks like she bought a lot of items from one or more of the many shopping channels, anything that said Limited Edition, Collectors Item on it or Gold (read plated clad) on it.... The only thing that I'm really interested in are some of her Proof Sets as I would like to fill in some of the missing years my Proof Sets Collection... My concern is, most if not all of them are missing the C.O.A... Not sure how or why, but they are gone... If you were looking to buy some Proof Sets, would the missing C.O.A kill the deal or would you still buy them??? I ask because I have a habit of Impulse buying at what may look like a good deal at 1st, might not be later... Way down the road, if I ever decide to part ways with my collection (not sure if I will) I don't expect to ever make a killing on it, but there is some glimmer of hope that I'll make some profit or atleast break even... I'm collecting 1st for the enjoyment of the hobby and any profit would be a Bonus... Thoughts on the Missing C.O.A.s???[/QUOTE]
