Forgot your units man. We talking $1500 USD? 1500 apple pies? 1500 tractor trailers? 1500 drops of HCL?
ok so you want to spend $750 USD on an investment that would equal 37.57 troy ounces of silver .575 troy ounces of gold. If you could buy for spot. If you are looking towards collectables coins and not bullion specify what you like to collect.
If you post the dates of the Wheaties you need HERE, you will get a dozen offers to evaluate. You might even buy my rare combo of 1910-S and 1910-D. Everybody has duplicate Lincolns...
Stay out of the stock market. Invest in what you KNOW: coins, whatever. Tell us your other hobbies, if you wish, that might generate more investment ideas even better than coins.
Oh yeah. coins are a magnificent investment. Stay out of coins if you don't want to lose money. It's a hobby, not an investment. Only the most savy of folks make money in this venue. I've made some, but I've lost more. That's why they call coin collecting a hobby........
Still Josh, you and Me ain't gonna make any money in this industry. We can lust and seek but we will never find. Well, maybe sometimes we'll 'find' but all not that often. You folks want to invest, pick a different venue. A nice mutual fund or(pity the thought) bullion.......
The guys who buy something and try to flip it 3 months later, they lose money. The guys who "invest" in teeny-tiny varieties or flyspeck flaws, they lose money. The guys who buy proof sets and other grossly-overpriced Mint products, especially from foreign mints, they lose money. You make your money when you buy something, not when you sell it.
You generally can't buy at retail, and sell at retail++ three months later. I see opportunities right on CT, guys throwing in the towel after 5 years; add to that, "original source" purchases, i.e., house auctions, estates in probate, clueless heirs, divorce divvy-ups, etc.
