<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 2887981, member: 15199"]The thought in the 50s and 60s , was similar to silver bullion buyers today, in that you could buy coins from the mint, stamps from the PO at face, and put it away for 20 years and it would gain in value 5000%. Extremely few issues did better than doubling. That is the mint postage stamps you see @ coin shows for 70% of face and hundreds of Mint and Proof sets. Today the market honks the horn of riches of buying silver or gold that HAS to increase 10-100 X over the next few decades, but extremely unlikely.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
