The coin dealing business is like everything else, you have to pick up your inventory at below market price and have buyers will to pay market or higher price. You can scour ebay in the wee hours, cherrypicking. or pick up coins firesale from people that need the cash and then resale for a nice price.

If somebody wants to try and flip it, that's their business. Best of luck to you. Or if you looking at holding them, that's their business too. Personally I never considered coins an invesement. They don't pay any dividends or income and it costs money to keep them. However that said, they can hold their value or appericate meaning their better collection item then beanie babbies.</p><p> </p><p>All in all though, my crystal ball says the BSA coin appericates due to a built in market of scouters out there.
