The Greatest 100 Coins seem to have done well.

Is this a good investment strategy?

    Thanks for sharing. I think the biggest opportunity nowadays is to buy high quality world coins that have desirable designs.

    There's certainly opportunity there. I think about where the next large number of millionaires and billionaires with disposable income will be and what coins they would be interested in.

    Yes my thoughts exactly! And also because the older coin collectors in the us generally don’t care for world coins. The newer generation loves them

    In the period 1980-2015, roughly similar to equity returns.

    It's great to make good returns and enjoy coins!

    I agree! I'm happy to have some coins, though my equity returns have been a lot higher.

    (not to ruin the party, but ... I wonder how the top 100 have done in the period 2015 - 2020?)

    I'm curious too.

    We've been talking about this one recently. This sold for $5M in 2007 and $5.28M recently in 2021. With the dollar being worth 25% less in 2021 vs 2007 due to inflation, this #44 top pop has dropped in value.

    I see a lot of resistance at the $10M level for the top most coins. Without being able to break that level, the top coins could be getting maxed out on price.

    No. Most collectors do not have access to the top-100 coins, and there is no fund you can participate in that would offer access across the whole top-100 list. Not reflected in this chart is the return on the millions of Lincoln cent sets assembled since the 1930s, not to mentioned 99% of the coins that most collectors acquire.

    The stock market over the period indicated has done better.

    If someone wants to make money on coins, let them be a dealer, if they have the chops for it.

    All that said, collectors who put the work in usually do well when they sell.
