AlbumAccumulator Pillar of the Community United States 652 Posts	Posted 10/20/2015 9:06 pm With all of the additional finishes of coins coming out, I decided to forgo the madness and stop participating in these releases. I've been down this road years ago when I collected Baseball Cards. Too many versions of the same card to keep up with and the values kept falling because there was a never ending sea of product. I wanted to take up a new project and since the RP coins are made as collectible version of "circulating" coinage, why not look at a series whose intent was made as just a collectible and not intended as currency. I liked the look of some of the Commem Silver dollars and prefer the uncirculated finish to the proofs. Most of the Unc coins have a dramatically lower mintage compared to the proofs so that was the deciding factor. The next part of the task was to get the coins as cheap as possible. I got some for around melt, others I've had to pay much more. My main goal was to get as much of a discount off the going price as possible. If anyone is interested, I document the purchase price of each coin and can add that data. These coins were purchased off of ebay from July-Oct 2015. I still need 11 coins to complete the set.

gymcoachdon Pillar of the Community United States 717 Posts	Posted 10/21/2015 11:29 pm I coach gymnastics, and because of that have thought of starting an Olympic commemorative collection. Really enjoyed seeing your collection! Report this Post to the Staff
AlbumAccumulator Pillar of the Community United States 652 Posts	Posted 10/22/2015 09:53 am Thanks all. It is a fun set to put together with a nice amount of silver. I find the design of these interesting because they range from very artistic to no effort taken with a dash of ugly thrown in. Report this Post to the Staff

jack jeckel Pillar of the Community United States 5203 Posts	Posted 10/22/2015 11:50 pm Nice start to a collection. If they don't make an album to suit your needs build your own. I have a few "self made" Dansco albums. Report this Post to the Staff

HaroldS Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 10/24/2015 12:13 am That is really nice. I like the uncirculated too. But whatever do you do with all the boxes and paper that they came in? I am drowning in them, but was told by my LCS to save them for when I want to sell, since the original packaging is desired. I'm going to a coin show Saturday and will look for those blank album pages. Report this Post to the Staff

For the ones that come with OGP, I have them in a box in my closet. The rest either came in 2x2's or slabbed. I like finding the loose ones b/c I don't have to worry about saving any packaging and I might save a couple of bucks as well. Report this Post to the Staff
