[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1232840, member: 26302"]OP, I would go to both shows. Big shows can be fun, but many deals also pop up at local shows. If my son told me he wants to complete a Franklin set, buy silver, and was 15, my advice would be as follows: You are only 15, you have your whole life to complete a BU set. Also, a little silver is ok, but again you have your whole life to worry about asset diversification. Right now in life the most important thing is education.
