David Bowers for authors.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>While you&#039;re learning, one thing that is pretty easy to do and fairly &#039;safe&#039; is to start buying the annual sets, etc. directly from the US Mint <a href="http://www.usmint.gov" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.usmint.gov" rel="nofollow">www.usmint.gov</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Each year they sell everything of that year except the bullion uncirculated versions of the silver, gold and platinum eagles.&nbsp;&nbsp; These are sold thru dealers.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However, buying both Proof Sets (silver and clad), the Mint Set, the silver eagle proof, those commemoratives that appeal to you, etc., will get you started in a very sound manner.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;ve been doing this for years, but since I became a grandpa, I also buy one of most everything for each of my grandkids.&nbsp;&nbsp; I hope to turn them into collectors, but at worst it&#039;ll sure help pay for college.&nbsp; This means that I normally order 5 of the basic stuff -&nbsp; 1 for me, 2 for the grandkids, and 2 for giggles.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>good luck,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>rono[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
