 I voted for Franklins Danny. Unfortunately, I think if you go this route, you will have missed the low spot for picking these up. As far as I can tell they are certainly on the rise. That being said, since they are still rising, it may not be a bad time to invest, and I think quite a few can be had at decent prices still. Of course just my opinion. |

My vote is for the world coin set. There is a lot of variety available and it's easy to keep the costs down. The money you save you can put toward your type set.

I'm going in six directions at once, and you're asking my opinion?  Bet you can't guess what my vote was. |

Go for the Franklins. This is a short and can be an inexpensive set, depending on what grade you are looking for.

Franklins are the way to go. I have really enjoyed collecting them so far, and I only have a few to go. A perk is that there is no key date coin - there are a few semi-keys but no $1000 coins. Good Luck!

I was told a few months ago, by a national dealer and friend, to go after Franklin half dollars in high grade or proof as they were going to rise and rise quickly. So much so they will be considered the next Morgan dollar? Have purchased a few since then but already have a complete set so no hurry on my part. I also would recommend world silver, world bullion and world classics if you can buy them right. History is a great thing and many countries put out designs that are more than stunning. Enjoy what you do and always remember you don't have to please anyone except yourself! |

I voted for Franklins, I'm currently working on a set and really enjoys it. Like already mentioned, they're not very expensive either.

Hi DJ! I voted for Franklin's because they are still relatively inexpensive to collect, can be completed even with the proofs (the early dates can be a bit pricey) and I feel they have great potential to grow in value. Good luck! Mike |
