    Collect what you like that way you can't loose............ image

    If you are looking at it purely from an investment point of view I would go with PCGS or NGC high grade key dates.

    "From an investment standpoint" I'm not sure how many people would suggest you invest in coins at all.
    There are some wealthy people on this forum that collect, buy and sell coins. But I don't know how many of them BECAME wealthy from doing it.
    I suspect a scant few...

    My cousin is many years my senior. He was amassing a collection of Krugerands before they were illegal to own (Apartheid and 1980s laws). Suffice it to say if you are interested in investment-grade gold, consider owning gold 1-oz bullion coins from just about any nation. U.S. Gold Eagle bullion is fairly popular and has a premium over spot gold price and is also ubiquitous. Good luck!

    Coins are not a great investment. Precious metal coins ( a segment of the market) on the other hand have done quite nicely if you acquired years ago and held them. The above advice is sound. Cheers, RickO

    WrigleyCub---You may want to edit the title of your thread to be more specific concerning the topic you are asking about. You may get more responses. "Coins?" on a coin forum isn't very specific.

    Let me remind you that coins are no different than other collectibles. The prices rise and FALL
    and don't necessarily just go up in value. Just a few years ago, in the early 80's coins were
    worth more than today. It was the peak and dropped significantly in just a year or two. Silver
    was almost 50 dollars an ounce. Sure the Hunt brothers were trying to manipulate the market'
    but just the same the price of a silver dollar was more than it is today.

    Just keep it in mind.
