rworkie New Member United States 1 Posts	Posted 07/09/2008 6:23 pm I am not a serious collector but I bought the 1995 proof set of American eagles just for fun in 1995. Now I find out that the silver proof is a key date coin. My question is, what to do with my set. Some have said to split it up, sell of the gold coins and collect an entire set of the proof silver eagles. (I have about 10 other proof dates already). Others say keep the set intact and sell it if I want the money. Others say just hold on to it and wait. I have never had it look at by any type of grading service. The coins are in their mint holders and I'm worried after reading some other sites that the silver coin could "spot". I would welcome some professional collectors opinions.

I don't think spotting was a problem for this year like it was for the past few years of the silver eagles. Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 187582 Posts	Posted 07/10/2008 5:20 pm I thought they started in 1986? If so, 1995 would have been the tenth year produced. I would not call it a "10th anniversary" until that year ended, just like your first birthday comes at the end of your first year alive and the beginning of your second.

Look at it this way, you already own the toughest one and one that most people will never own- the rest is easy with just a few proofs over $100. Report this Post to the Staff
ratio411 Pillar of the Community United States 1208 Posts	Posted 07/10/2008 11:17 pm What I would do... my method of collecting, others may vary... I would keep the set completely in tact. All mint packaging and papers. Then I would collect the rest of the set... UNC, Proof, R-proof, etc... The WHOLE set! The way I see mint packaging is like NRFB to other collectors. It may not be a boost to value now. But one day it will. Without question. This is precisely why graders are beginning to grade GSA Morgans in the mint slab. I think I have even seen some other high end mint products with grade labels, as opposed to being broken out. Good luck! Enjoy the hobby, and welcome! Dave Report this Post to the Staff
