<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ratio411, post: 1115759, member: 26729&quot;]I would like to add that you don&#039;t show the signs of the 1 in a million investor that wins on coin investing.</p><p>No offense intended, but your initial choice of proof sets as an investment betrays your lack of investing prowess.</p><p>Mint issue sets are historically overpriced, especially around the time they are minted. They sell very high from the mint, often see a spike in value in the aftermarket for a couple of brief years, then they fall to the basement... often to a value below their original issue price.</p><p>There are exceptions, but those are the happy accidents I speak of, and you have to be committed to the losers to be committed enough to be in those happy accidents.</p><p>I got my 1999 silver proof set from the mint and won big time, but in order to get that one, I bought ALL of the other losers from the mint.</p><p>Same with my 08/07 ASE. I buy 2 of everything, every year, from the mint. Not because I am investing, but because I collect.</p><p>So in 08, I got one 08/07 variety, along with a regular 08 for the 2nd. Happy accident. However, nothing an investor could have planned for and won on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
