<p>[QUOTE="chascat, post: 2891269, member: 76792"]I asked myself the same question when I started collecting for the second time. So many choices and price ranges to choose from. I decided to focus on Proof coins from 1950 on because I was born in 1951. I collect them in both brilliant and cameo...the cameos are all graded in slabs and the brilliants are all in Whitman plastic mint set holders. This is a lifetime effort for me as the earlier coins are not only difficult to find in cameo, but also rather spendy. I manage to buy several nice ones a year, so I,m down to around 15 missing cameos...I have all the brilliants though. From 1990 onward I leave them in the original mint holders because they seem to be fairly inert sleeves. Before 1990 coins are in the slabs and Whitman plastic holders because of terrible Mint packaging of the time. Hopefully, I can complete the full set before judgement day and pass them on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
