[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 3979589, member: 19165"]I think what he's trying to say is, be smart about it. I generally disagree with his assessment of key dates (they will always be popular, and generally tend to outperform common date or lower quality coins), however I agree with his point about conditional rarity. These coins are only rare because they are high grade - any time a new bag or hoard is discovered, there's a potential that these coins are no longer rare. The key point with a Morgan purchase, like any other coin, is from your own motto: "Quality over Quantity." Don't try to judge the market. Don't try to buy a coin because someone else likes it, or its popular now. Buy a coin because *you* like it! Buy a coin because that's what you want, and it fits into the set that you are building. That's the most important thing - and then if you happen to loose a hundred bucks when it's time to sell, it isn't a big deal at all. You got at least that much enjoyment out of owning it! And that, Mr. Bond Villian, is the difference between a collector and investor. ;)[/QUOTE]
