I would buy one of the reverse proof ASE's because they look amazing in person...  |

My suggestion would be. Research the prices for all the coins on your list. Figure out a good/fair price that you would like to pay for each coin. Start searching for all the coins on your list, when you find one that meets your price or lower ... buy that coin. The 1997 Jefferson is one of my favorites    |

I started thinking about the Silver eagles.
I would have to compare the complete sets, 2006 and 2011's,
against buying just the single coin.

I'd buy the 95w proof ASE. That's gotta be on the list right? |

Be very careful... Don't pick up the pipe, or in this case the loupe, unless you're ready for addiction  The 91cc VAM 3 "spitting eagle" and 87p VAM 12 "alligator eye" are good starters |

Those are cool, Cascade. I'm eyeing VAM 21 at the moment. Cool doubling and the misplaced 8 on this one are pretty cool! |

Yeah that's a cool one and not too expensive. I always check the M initial when I pick up an 86p

I would have gone for the Dime. I like coins that you can show people that know coins and they would be impressed. Most of the other ones you mentioned are to some, just ordinary.

Always had some interest in the VAMs. Still have other moderns I want to buy, so hopefully it won't sidetrack me too bad. Carl, the dime was farther down on the list for me. Cool coin, but I'm now leaning on the matte Jefferson and Kennedy DDO for the next purchase. 2006 Reverse proof eagle would likely follow then the dime. |
