<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 270379, member: 68&quot;]I hate this since I don&#039;t like seeing people buy coins for an investment. </p><p><br /></p><p>But here&#039;s a sense of what I&#039;m thinking.&nbsp; Coins like a nice gem &#039;79 cent can be very elusive.&nbsp; There are lots of collections of older cents in high grade and if many of these collectors wanted to update when the series ends in a couple years they&#039;ll find slim pickings on many such coins.&nbsp; You can go to the typical large show and find a half dozen nice gem &#039;09-S VDB&#039;s but just try to find a nice &#039;72-S.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s the same across the board.&nbsp; There are rare coins and coins that are rare only in high grade.&nbsp; There are also lots of scarce coins that get surprisingly little attention.&nbsp; The &#039;82-NMM dime or any of the gem clads of &#039;82 and &#039;83.&nbsp; There are lots of varieties and these can be a hoot.&nbsp; If they catch on then coins like the &#039;68 DDO dime which appears in mint sets could easily increase many fold.&nbsp; There aren&#039;t so many of these sets left and only about 1.5% have the DDO.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Again, investing in any coin is a poor idea and that goes double for moderns.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>When you consider that the &#039;50-D nickel went to $160 in today&#039;s money and most of the clads are scarcer than the &#039;50-D even in MS-60 one has to believe there could be potential to increase.&nbsp; Most modern collectors don&#039;t like ugly moderns and this greatly reduces the available supply much further.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
