Message:: [QUOTE="jackhd, post: 2099275, member: 73897"]I have been considering this very same question myself and I'll share my conclusion. I did assemble a complete Ike dollar BU/proof set (32 coins) thinking that we aren't likely to see another large dollar series. You can put such a set together for less than $300. I have also completed the Susan B. Anthony series for a few different reasons. First, it is the very first attempt at a small dollar replacement for currency and had a very short life. Also, it's the only silver colored small dollar. It's the first time real female is portrayed on a coin and includes the whole history of this early pioneer for women's rights. This series has a couple of different versions that will become harder to get as time goes by. Finally, a complete set is only 18 coins many of which may still be found at banks. The whole set can be purchased for $300 or less. Neither of these two coins are valuable presently, but they share a common (except for 75-76 bicentenial Ikes) reverse of the Apollo 11 astronaut patch which is another landmark point of history. They are exceptionally beautiful coins and I find myself smiling each time I bring them out to look at. From my perspective, its for these reasons that these two series are a total homerun with an honest potential for appreciation over the next 50 - 100 years. Best of luck, Jackhd28[/QUOTE]
