If you were to sell your entire collection and buy just one coin, what would it be?

Waaaaaaay less risk to own numerous super eye appealing coins, plus way more liquid. >>



Truth is, this is my thinking too. I would rather own 1,000, or 10,000 beautiful and original coins, hand selected over decades of collecting with the price range $250-$1500 generally. How can you go wrong with that strategy?

I would be all over the finest 1792 Half disme.

Unfortunately, stamp collectors found out that "diversification" within a single class of collectibles wasn't nearly as safe as they had hoped. I can always tell when I'm buying coins from a dealer who also sold stamps. My packages arrive with little bits of his philatelic inventory stuck to the outside of the envelope.

Pogue 1822 $5. But I cheated, I would need to sell my collection, and run a lemonade stand for a few years as well. Without a doubt, in my opinion, the great gold coin to own.

1796 no stars or 1808 quarter eagle

I'd never sell my entire collection but, if money were no object; I'd pick up a 19-D and/or a 1921-S half in MS 65.
