Question
Hello Joe,
         I have two 1999 Silver proof sets with the double flap box. Should I hold on to them or sell?

Also I have a few 2006 W MS 69 silver Eagles.
now that the prices are down on them should I invest in a few more with the hopes of prices rising in the future or do you see them staying at a flat price ? What happen to them ? with such a low mintage I would have thought that they would have stayed in demand.
                                   Thanks, Tom

Answer
Hi Tom,
Hold the proof sets.
Don't buy more of the 06 eagles, they are only 2 years old and a lot were made.  Let demand catch up to supply.
Buy junk 90% Silver coins, Silver Bars, etc.  Profit potential is better than with coins right now.
