<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 1648323, member: 3726&quot;]I think what doug is saying is they may not hold the price from todays market.&nbsp; So you might pay $200 for a 70 and then 5 or 10 years down the road find 70&#039;s at $150.&nbsp; The drop from when I was collecting for 70&#039;s, and I only collected 69&#039;s, was a lot more significant than I mentioned.&nbsp; I know some of the 70&#039;s when I was collecting were from $700 to $1000 dollars and now you regularly see them from $150 to $300.&nbsp; So that drop was significant.&nbsp; In this case - since the collector is just starting he will be paying the current premium, not at the original issue price. With silver up there is a premium on the silver eagles, if silver tanks so could that premium.&nbsp; While I don&#039;t expect it, it is something the OP needs to keep in mind.&nbsp; Personally if he likes silver eagles - collect a basic date set to hand down to the kinds.&nbsp; I would do PCGS 69&#039;s - a basic date set of proofs and business strikes. I would not do the special strikes like reverse proof - unless he really wanted to. Just my humble opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
