Message:: [QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1189915, member: 15929"]I'm pretty much in the same situation as you but have fallen off track. The primary goal was getting in on the ground floor and having material available to build collections but unfortunately, most interest in Presidential Dollars has simply gone flat! As such, one can only question what in the heck we were thinking. Badically, coin collecting is a gamble whenever a new series of coins is involved primarily because collectibility has as much to do with availability as anything else.  For example, if you consistently buy rolls as they become available from the US Mint, then you have them. If for whatever reason the US Mint cuts short the production, it may be possible to have a very low mintage which could excalate into large collectible prices. Thats the gamble. The risk is in that NOT happening and then your stuck woth what to do with all those coins? I'd advise you to re-evaluate what it is you are doing and then make a decision. At the very minimum, each roll you collect at least is worth face value (unless you purchased from the Mint). I, personally, have stopped purchasing rolls and instead am focusing on other things.[/QUOTE]
