Oh yeah, Jeff. I was born in 1962. I started collecting abt. 2yrs before the ASE program started
(1982). Its a great hobby that can be rewarding in more ways than just the possibility of finan. gains
down the road, for sure. Your Grandpa seems to be a very wise man. It is always good to learn from your elders, for sure……. I did too. Keep on collecting !!
** aside fr my full yr / mint mark Unc set of Peace Dollars, my oldest coin is an 1856 Coronet Head Half Cent **

Dave

Me too I don’t have that much in graded stuff, just some Morgan’s and ASE. Lots of coins currency stuff in my collection. Started off in pocket change then buying things in 83. The history of the items and history covered by the coins. Dave my Grandpa turned me onto coin collecting with the stuff he knew . He knew lots about his coins. Like the Kennedy one dollar and radar notes in the currency. Sounds like you have been collecting for some time yourself.The earliest coin I have is a 1842 large cent. Mainly US stuff some Canadian back in 83. I collect for fun and history.

I did the NON-U.S. coins ( silver only) in my earlier years and learned that the only real investment. return from them from buyers / coin dealers was when the underlying values of their respective bullion prices per oz. went up. Dont get me wrong,
there are most definitely exceptions (ie: early yr., low
minted Chinese Panda’s) but for the past 10+ yrs. now, I buy solely U.S.A. only coinage and leave
EVERYTHING untouched AND ungraded in my safe
deposit bx. My holdings incl., all the Au sets starting w/ the 2006 20th Anniv. 3 coin sets, mint wrapped rolls of all 2009 Lincoln cents (4 designs) and all designs (P&D rolls) of N.A. golden dollars,
and many other mint items (too numerous to mention here)………………..BEST !!

Even last years enhanced unc. set will be one of these sleepers and with this silver reverse set , time will tell. I bought one of each for my coin collection. I like finding sleeper coin like the 1996 prestige coin set is one I also have a 1982 no P Roosevelt dime also the 2008 with a 2007 burndish silver eagle. Kind of just started looking bullion Britannia, Kangaroos and Maple leafs

I agree w/ You 100% abt this set being a sleeper. I immed. bought 3 of them and put all in my Safe Dep. Box for future considerations !!

This set will be a winner in time as it has a couple of first . Silver will rebound back up to $18 by December of next year. Low mintage total will make this set hard to find in OGP, which also looks great.

This set to me will be a sleeper item. Wanted more and more as time goes bye. Low mintage of a one of a kind item. Couple of firsts only with this too.

Jeff TX: I agree. Just ref the 2017-S 225th Anniv. Enhanced Set final sales figures.
