Hello everyone I am new to the hobby. I started out by purchasing NGC cert coins as a investment. I did some research and noticed that compared to the American dollar GOLD, Platinum and Silver coins rather certified or BU was a better investment then a savings account. Then I kind of got hooked. I was wondering if I could get a few opinions on collecting. First I want to collect all the silver AE $1 coins, mainly because they started minting them in 1986 and I was born in 87, so I though it would be cool to have a set that was "born" just one year be for me. I know I can start a subscription with us mint so I can get them all from this year forward. So is it better to get the coins from the mint and then have them graded or just buy them already graded. Second is it a better collection if they are all MS or PR? I found more silver AE in MS then PR so there's a better chance to get them all in MS. And is it worth purchasing a complete 2011 or 12 mint silver set from the mint and having it graded. Finally I tried to purchase a set of slabbed PR70 2011 Gold AE in all four denominations, the U.S. Gold Bureau wanted $6,000 for them. I saw that you can purchase them from the mint for about $3,500, ungraded in PR and in a mint capsule. Would it be worth purchasing from the mint then having it graded by NGC after wards?
I just want to thank you all for your information. I look forward to learning more from those who are more experienced.
