[QUOTE="Speedy, post: 174654, member: 705"]I would never never ever suggest coins as an investment---if you don't know what you are doing and don't learn about them you will lose your shirt faster than taking it off ;) The Red book and some mag's is not the tools you need---you need such books as: ANA Grading Guide PCGS Grading Guide and those are just 2----many more are needed. If you just think that since they are already worth more than their weight means anything think again---a coin can crash in value over night---and has many times. Experience is a good teacher----but it needs to be helped along with reading and learning---like I said above. Buy the book before you buy the coin---and since you are buying $$ I will also suggest---buy ONLY slabbed coins and those graded by PCGS/NGC/ANACS/ICG. If you buy raw and don't know how to grade or much else you are just looking for problem after problem. Speedy[/QUOTE]
