Coin investing, keep the flaming down!

Hiya guys, So just to play Devils advocate, I recently found this article in a U.S. News and world report, from 1988.
The Article is, "1989 Investment Guide, Special Report, Where to put your money now".

Although, I think I might disagree a bit. Not that I ever buy coins with investment in mind. But I have seen most key coins I've bought within the last 7 years have went up in price, some substantially.
There is a chart in amongst the article, and this is what it says:
