I have a small collection of civil war, hard times, and Canadian bank tokens. From time to time I'll buy something if it appears to be in above...
The price of a coin is also affected by marketing and by the elusive "fad" factor. Some coins are more popular than others for no real objective...
To answer my own question, I think I was thinking of Stephen Leeb.
Didn't Stephen Leob publish a newsletter in the 1990s that recommended tech stocks? I believe it was discontinued when his recommendations...
