OK so I'm Bored it started with the half which I used as a pocket piece for a few years. Looks like I need a couple more, dime trade dollar so if you have these and want to unload send me me a PM
Hahaha thats a rather expensive keychain XD If they arent withing budget he could always save up for one coin at a time. It will gain more value over time although it isnt a guarentee but following the market it will probably go up.
(1): Not everybody collects with investment in mind, nor should they. I'd go so far as to say that a _collector_ is making a mistake if they think of what they are doing as investment. If you want to buy coins to grow or protect future value, you can absolutely do that and make money but not very easily as a collector assembling type sets, date sets, etc. It's a different model completely and looks much more like targeted hoarding. (2): That said, I'm suspicious of the general wisdom that culls are always and everywhere worthless and will not appreciate much in value. As more of the pre-modern market moves out of reach for many collectors, these lower-end specimens may develop an appeal of their own. Coins with localized detractions (such as holes, rim bumps, or scratches) but higher-grade details may be big beneficiaries, percentage-wise. Or I could be totally wrong with my crackpot theory... but it seems plausible anyway ;-) (3): I've seen a few of these holed sets and some of them are pretty darn impressive.
Thats a pretty good idea! I buy damaged coins at my lcs sometimes because even the lowest grade of the same exact coin is usually quadruple that of the damaged. I got a 1806larger half cent for 10you bux the other day. It has vf details but it is holed
