Amazon99 Pillar of the Community United States 2443 Posts	Posted 09/02/2007 6:22 pm quote: amazon, I was thinking about collecting all of the proof sets from the 50s, 60s & 70s, but have no idea yet how expensive that acquisition might be. Hopefully not in the crazy expensive range! Right now I have some Prestige sets from the 80s and 90s. . Even though they're going to be the priciest, I would suggest that you start buying the ones from the 50's first. Those prices will increase more in the future than the ones from the 70's and 80's.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 09/03/2007 10:02 am As I always do I suggest you do NOT go to a coin store or use ebay unless there are no other sources available. Go to google, type in coin shows and the state you are in. Find a coin show to attend if possible. If you can find coin shows, ask, ask, ask every dealer there for what ever you want. Get to know them. Usually they will come up with what you want for a lot, lot less than ebay. Report this Post to the Staff
onejinx Pillar of the Community United States 1231 Posts	Posted 09/03/2007 6:28 pm ebay can be a good place to find items. But you may have to wait a while to get it at the price you want. If you set a price you are willing to pay, you can find it somewhere for that price or less. Even on ebay!! Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 09/03/2007 7:05 pm Here is something. pilgrimsoul, if you look to the far left of your 1st post it states 4 posts. Then for every additional post it still says 4. I never looked there before but since you said this is your 1st post I thought I'd look. Report this Post to the Staff
rons New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 09/03/2007 9:30 pm I don't know what your finances are but I bought the proof run from maja-maja on ebay several years ago and they were all nice coins. I think the run was from 1955-2002. He still offers them as well as the mint set run from about the same years. Good luck Report this Post to the Staff

However, when my Grandfather gave me his collection, about 80% of his were sealed due to different humiidty exposures over many, many years. Most were still in the sealed, original mint shipping boxes! I love my Grandfather! Lincoln Cent Lover!
