I have not bought any proof coins for a long time and hoping to get an idea from the experts on which silver dollars or silver coins sets would be the best for holding value.
Not like the clad sets which sell retail below their new price. and not the bullion only ASE. As I would like to buy and be able to sell if needed and not lose all.

I would think the answer to that would need a time machine

I'd think the only way to ensure you're "holding value" is by buying as close to spot as you can (or below) and hoping spot value only goes up. I can't see any way to predict numismatic value, and the rarity factor has already been decided for most issues already released. All you have left to go on is metal value.

Ummmm...have to disagree there. If you are basing your Mint purchases on spot metal value then you shouldn't buy anything.

The metal value of the recent medal issue was around 17 bucks and was sold at over 100% premium...and we all know where that went

There are some issue that have more POTENTIAL than others (due to low mintage) but the true value will only be determined by time. These issue may be limited to one every year or two.
Rest in Peace

Look at the burnished and proof ASE sales or the registry sets from either NGC or PCGS and you would have a hard time finding a more popular series presently issued.

The best answer is .... none.

Every couple of years of so, there seems to be a low mintage silver
coin offered that will make a good increase in value over issue price.
Once it sells out.

Most of those low mintage coins, will shoot very high ..then fall back in
price, sometimes continueing drop in price for years.

If you happen to get some of the low mintage hot coins, to make good money,
it is best to sell when it is hot.

You have to go back to 1996 10th anniversary ASE for a coin that has
held good value.

There are several that have held a value over issue price, but most mint
products trade for less than issue price.

I think the None is the answer and only the ones that have eye appeal and not for the profit.. The price is way over melt but the mint has to get their profit before the buyer does.
Thanks for the info

I agree with the others. I buy them every year or if I miss sets I go back and
pick them up later but I do not expect a future return on my investment.
