desertgem Pillar of the Community United States 860 Posts	Posted 07/25/2008 3:44 pm The only big mistakes you could make is to allow them to become damaged or if you sell them before you obtain the knowledge as to how much they are really worth. The first step to come here before selling was a good one. Hope you find them interesting enough to stimulate the collecting bug to keep them! Nice relative, mine just seem to want to borrow coins and not give me any Jim Report this Post to the Staff
rbf Valued Member United States 56 Posts	Posted 07/26/2008 01:39 am I don't necessarily agree that they'll go up in value if you hold onto them. Most of those 1990's proof sets you have are actually worth about the same -- or in some cases even less -- than they were 10 years ago! I'm sure your uncle means well, but in all honesty, I don't think proof sets are such a great investment. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 07/27/2008 7:02 pm Try any coin shop, coin store, some book stores or a coin show. Look for something called the Red Book. The prices are approximate for all your coins. They are what a dealer would sell them to you for and not what you could get for them. However, if you were interested in selling them, your best bet is to get that book, then put them up on ebay and try to get something as close to the Red Book. I suggest keeping them all for a future collection. Report this Post to the Staff
xshift Pillar of the Community United States 2669 Posts	Posted 07/27/2008 8:22 pm It's an investment.. you don't have to be a coin collector, just think of them as items that are sure to appreciate in value. Keep them safe! Report this Post to the Staff

eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 07/31/2008 08:29 am An investment for "you" or your great-grandchildren ?.......if you're thinking long term, then family down the line may appreciate these.......no matter what kinds of coins you get. No one is going to have a wheelbarrow full of money after 20 years with the State Quarter Series......IMHO But it takes a lot of layers and purchases in all price ranges and all kinds of coins and materials to make a decent "collection" that WILL have some value in the future and you have a very nice start !!.........

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19952 Posts	Posted 07/31/2008 09:01 am I'd hang on to those, the silver proof sets are decent for investment purposes and that 1999 set will continue to go up in value big time. Put them into a large ziplock bag to protect them ASAP! Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
