[QUOTE="Prime Mover, post: 1497004, member: 38783"]One thing I have a lot of are uncirculated mint / mint proof sets from the 1970's through mid-2000's (found one 1964, think I have a '68 or '69 as well). Also have a bunch of Prestige Proof sets from 86 - 1994. I'm working on a full list of exactly what I have, but I easily have over 200 sets total, so it's time consuming. I'm personally not a big fan of keeping the proof sets, they're just not my thing, and was considering selling them off en masse. However, I saw a thread about proof sets the other day which made me think to ask the question - are there any coins within those sets that might be worth breaking out and keeping as part of my collection, and then getting rid of the rest? The only thing I know about for sure is the worth of the silver proof sets, I have a few from the years, and a bunch of the 1999 proof sets already set aside for keeping. Everything else is on the chopping block. My current collecting mindset is for "unique or valuable" things, meaning obviously things that are worth something significant over face value or possiblly that will appreciate over time, or something that is special in it's own right - an error, low mintage, hard to find date, etc. I'm not very big on sequential collections, i.e. all state quarters, etc. I have no idea where/how to start working through this except for here... :) Pictures of anything and everything can be done if asked, I just don't want to spam a ton of them for no reason here.[/QUOTE]
