Although I respect your way of displaying (or collecting) your set, I am trying to point out to many others that the harder to find (in my opinion) is going to be the regular circulation strike coins, even if in a lower grade like MS-66 (versus the MS-68 and 69 SMS coins). They will likelier be the more desirable coins and it is this dismissive attitude towards them that ultimately encourages my scenario.</p><p><br /></p><p>Collect what you like, but if you&#039;re looking for an increase in value long term, I don&#039;t think that the satin coins are the way to go.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
