If I look at this with a little bit longer time frame, let's say 25 years, then I think I have something that you can generally buy on the cheap, for now and just might hit it bigger in that type, 25 years, of time frame. I keep on looking at the modern commemoratives and seeing that the proofs were produced at 2 to 1 up to a 10 to 1 ratio over the coins. That just makes me wonder if all the people buying the proofs missed the boat a little bit? Maybe I missed the boat by a bit, but I'm guessing only time will prove that out.
