<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Mader, post: 4163141, member: 106826"]I agree with Chris - own to enjoy and if it appreciates in value...it's a bonus. There are better ways to make investments...but maybe not as fun. Regarding coins in general, serious collectors generally aim for coin conditions/appearances with an MS grade of 65 or better (and slabbed). However, more desirable/collectible coins of lower grades are also desirable (e.g., 1922 LWC Plain). So it depends on a few factors. Slabbed population is also a consideration. The line shifts dependent on the coin. If the population drops off suddenly at MS62, then MS62 on up become more desirable and the rule-of-thumb MS65 goes out the window (to a certain degree). Do some research on your coins population and desirability. Be sure to look at where that is among the coins that grade higher. It should give you a pretty good idea of the deal you made and the likelihood it'll appreciate in value (note the trends at the Big 3 TPGs).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
