[QUOTE="usmc60, post: 2718457, member: 76739"]Like Paddy said, what you choose to collect is your choice. I look at it this way if I was to take the money that I invested in state quarters, and invested that in the gold instead of state quarters I would've been a better off. But like in life you make choices. I should listen to myself back in the year 2000. I used to go to the swap meets on Saturdays and Sundays to get rid of some accumulated items. And of course I'd have one little section for coins. Even back then the most popular coin that I was selling was the 10th ounce gold eagle. The men really like these coins for gifts for their wife or girlfriend. They would take them to the jeweler and have them put in necklaces. And for a short while there I was taking orders for the 10th ounce gold eagle. It seems the only time I made any money on state quarters was in the beginning. When coin shops could not keep them in their shop because of everyone collecting them. Now the only way I see to making any money on my two complete sets of state quarters is to break them up and sell them separately. They seem to be worth more money that way especially the proof and Silver proofs. The silver proofs I may hold on to. Because of course their silver. But the proofs I May just breakup and individually sell them, and put that money back into 10th ounce gold Eagles. USMC60[/QUOTE]
