You can probably pawn off the dimes here to somebody as well.

Why don't you consider buying directly from a dealer in the U.S. Mint coin dealer database?

As you will usually hear from many people, try to find a coin show. If you can find one, look for the entire proof sets. Break them open, put aside the ones you don't want or need for now. Eventually you can resell them separately. Usually people that start doing what your doing will start collecting all proofs though.

I see what you're saying Carl. I just don't think I would buy all the proof dollar coins though. Because they seem to cost a lot. Right now I could pick up all 4 of the Lincolns for 4 dollars each. For two more dollars I can just buy the mint set. Now if I buy the mint set should I leave them inside or break them out? I got 30 dollars in my account. bought this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/14095096339....m1497.l2649Edited by solotime

American silver eagle proof I been wanting one for such a long time now. So I am going to keep my money and not spend it on Lincolns. I want to pick an American Silver eagle up that is a proof and graded by third parties. I don't care what grade. But the year must be 1993. I would get a Proof-70 but depends on the cost. I will pay around 100 dollars for the proof when I have the money. I been checking ebay out on the cost of Proofs. They seem to be around 70 dollars to 85 dollars. ( any year proof) So I'm asking you guys, what should I pay for a 1993 proof that been graded? And what is the basic cost of any American silver eagle proof? Also, I think once my proof Lincoln set is completed and I bought an American silver eagle, I will no longer be buying coins for a little while. It's just I need to start focusing on real life about what I want to do. I will still post on this site maybe once a week or so but I will be around. My coin buying will have to end though. Perhaps, if this thread is kind of pointless or considered spam or whatever please just let me know. I understand I been making threads like this about what I'm buying or want to buy. I don't want to cause problems or break the rules.

Theyre 60 something straight from the mint now, so expect a mark up as you go back in years. For a 1993 forget about a pf70 theyre few and far between and youd be looking at a few thousand for it. A pf69 you should be able to find for around 100 give or take some. |

basebal21, wow! Thanks very much. I didn't know proof-70's come in the thousands  Proof 69 isn't bad, I will buy one of them I guess. |

The recent proof 70s should only run you about a 100 unless theyre from the special sets but year the older ones get REALLY expensive as theyre quite rare. A PCGS PF70 1995 W for instance just sold not to long ago for over 80k, you can count the number of those on one hand if I remember correctly

Sounds to me like you will do yourself a favor by buying the mint sets. Would make it a lot easier for you.

@basebal21, now I never ask for a lot, but can you loan me 80k?  @Bad, That's what I guess I will do. But like I said, I won't be buying coins for a little while. |

solotime, I know you have your preferred methods, but personally I like antique shops for Lincoln proofs... Also, look for general coin collections on ebay with proofs in celo, sometimes the seller doesn't know they're dealing with proofs. Can be a good way to buy in bulk. |

I have a few proofs (about 10) I purchased cause I got a good deal on them. If you are interested I could list them in the Trade section (I am putting together a MS Lincoln set)
