coin_newbe New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 05/09/2025 11:04 pm Hi All, Retired engineer here sorta dancing around the edge of coin collecting. I have been fascinated with the national parks recently having visited many last year and currently planning a trip shortly to see more. I also have concerns about the economy which may or may not be silly. In any case I discovered the 5OZ ATB silver bullion coins, so I started accumulating them, Currently have ~ 30 or so all mint and graded. Then came the standard size quarters, so now have the collection of quarters (1936 - present), Then keeping in the (mostly) pure silver game got silver eagle set, In addition picked up some of the Platinum eagles. Current plans are to finish out the 5OZ set and think through 'what next' Ray Report this Post to the Staff

The Washington quarter set is a great start (let alone the silver commemoratives). Any thoughts on other coin series that may interest you? Time period? Enjoy! Report this Post to the Staff
coin_newbe New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 05/10/2025 1:40 pm I seem to be focused on coins who's intrinsic value is close to their purchase price - another reason why I like the ATB 5oz set. This tends to imply newer rather than older. I may flush out the platinum eagle set at least the $10 coins or get the Washington quarter proof sets (already have several), but other than that completely ignorant and willing to listen to opinions / options. BTW I meant to say '1932' not '1936' above. Ray Report this Post to the Staff
