<p>[QUOTE="clembo, post: 203126, member: 8033"]I get what you're saying samjimy but this isn't the only coin that I own. Like I said it's LONG term here. I'm 44 now but hopefully someday I'll be 74. Who knows SGS might be king by then (LOL). But really we don't know.</p><p>I'm just looking to the best avenue I can find NOW for the FUTURE. I am a self professed 2 Cent Junkie. I am not a wealthy man but have made my choices carefully in the past ten years or so. If I thinks it's way under rated I buy it and wait a few years. Usually I'm right if not by huge dollars (which I can't afford) but by percentage increase in Greysheet and retail value (and therefore resale).</p><p>I still buy coins that strike my fancy but "hoard" those that I believe will keep going up and are affordable. It's a hobby and an investment to me anymore. In the area I'm from I've seen people work for a company for 25 years and then lose their pension. Not going to happen to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>So if I die in a year and have a PCGS XF45 small motto that my wife can sell in 20 years will it be worth it? Probably so. This is an under rated coin that has been going up in the past several years. Just look at what the big dealers (and I mean reputable) are getting for these. I sure don't buy then anymore.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess the bottom line is this though. If I'm gone and my wife can buy an extra bag of groceries and a tank of gas on the EXTRA that was made from the "slab" and not the coin then it is BEYOND well worth it.
