<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1853824, member: 15929&quot;]A thousand bucks ain&#039;t going to buy you much of anything that will be appreciable over 20 years that would not have earned much, much more in some other investment. This doesn&#039;t even bring into account that you stated &quot;premium&quot; which is really, kind of a relative term!</p><p><br /></p><p>What I would advise you to do, if your heart is set on coins, is to look for something that will not &quot;devalue&quot; over the 20 years. Then, in 20 years you&#039;ll be able to pull it out of the bank box (which costs you a minimum of $1,000 at $50 * 20 years) and be able to sell it for, $1,100/$1,200. Sounds like a winner! Well, until you add in the actual money spent that is.</p><p><br /></p><p>Probably any of the classic coins will allow you to meet this goal. A 3 Leg Buffalo might be the best bet BUT you&#039;ll have to do some upfront work. Namely, You&#039;ll have to be able to find a coin that is:</p><p><br /></p><p>1 Good for if not higher than the Grade</p><p>2 Has features which are desireable by the &quot;collectors&quot; of that particular coin</p><p><br /></p><p>In order to do this, you&#039;ll have to &quot;know&quot; what you&#039;re doing which is going to require some effort on your part. By that I mean, attending coins, going to coin shops, shopping, studying, and generally getting involved in the hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are looking for something that I going to &quot;make&quot; you money, than you&#039;re going to need a lot more than $1,000 PLUS, you&#039;ll actually have to &quot;educate&quot; yourself on what it is that you have so that you can protect that investment and prevent future losses.</p><p><br /></p><p>Without trying to sound trite, taking $1,000 and buying something that will appreciate well into the future is something that is not very easily accomplished. If it were, then everybody would do it and we&#039;d all be millionaires! I seriously doubt that you&#039;ll walk away from this thread with any information that you can actually use other than take your $1,000 and &quot;invest&quot; in something other than coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
