Wow! Reality sets in. Been collecting commemoratives since the fifties. Been buying from the mint every year We could afford too. We had to sell some coins and will pay taxes on our profit. I am now looking for information on the original cost of the items we sold. I was shocked when I found out that the 1997 FDR sets we sold for $1400.00 only cost us $350.00. What a return in about 13 years and the fun you can have collecting. I hope the bubble does not burst anytime soon. Good Luck

Grab yourself a copy of the Red Book -- it lists original issue prices on mint, proof, and special mint sets.

That's the beauty of this hobby. It can actually pay off in the end. Sure beats Beanie Babies, LOL.

We are a unique group of collectors. When I started collecting I saved up money for some hard to get coin I really wanted. I never really considered the cost or what I spent. My wife would ask how much I spent and would comment. As years went by and she saw my interest in coins it became a easy buy for my birthday and Christmas gifts from the Mint. Soon my children and grandchildren added to the Mint gift list. I now realize the value at the right time when I have personal needs. Yes the beauty of this hobby is a rewarding experience.
TenSense thanks for the heads up on the Red Book.
