<p>[QUOTE="mikev, post: 1645917, member: 44760"]Thanks for the response Mark! I suppose part of my "problem" is that for someone new, it's kind of hard to decide just what you want to do. For example, I'm getting the bullion for the kids. That's kind of like an investment, but more like collecting a set of coins (from their birth year) that they can have, that hopefully will be worth at least the silver should they someday decide to sell it (after I'm dead of course!).</p><p><br /></p><p>Then, I've decided that I personally want to collect something that not only is a collection, but hopefully will be a decent investment. That's why I decided on the Proof ASE's. When I decided that, I really didn't know much about the entire collection that I'd have to buy. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Good advice on how to acquire those sets. I really like the coin dealer that I went to. I don't get the feeling that he's trying to take advantage of me. Seems like he's more interested in educating. I may even ask him to find one of the sets for me and I'll buy it from him. If I tell him what I'm willing to pay, and he can find it, get it, and make a profit that would be good for all of us.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>

When I decided that, I really didn't know much about the entire collection that I'd have to buy. :D Good advice on how to acquire those sets. I really like the coin dealer that I went to. I don't get the feeling that he's trying to take advantage of me. Seems like he's more interested in educating. I may even ask him to find one of the sets for me and I'll buy it from him.
