<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pennyholic, post: 746573, member: 21498&quot;]Well I am also like you filling holes in modern series. i stick with coin albums with circulation coins only so I do not break up to many proof sets. I have gone the mint set route and found out there is a big difference in quality of coins from mint to proof sets. Last week I went through about 20 sets of 1974 mint sets at the Santa Clara coin show to find a set I liked. Even then the nickel was not that good and will not be used in my primary set. You should avoid buying them with out checking them out, of course unless from the mint. I would suggest as other have is to get used Dansco/Whitman albums from somewhere and have doubles so you can keep upgrading. Regarding the silver proof sets i would not break them up. Also consider buying a set that someone has started if it is not expensive and has several coins you need. Lots of options knowledge is important but keep in mind this is a hobby not an investment,[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
