<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1285969, member: 22143&quot;]I don&#039;t usually respond to tales of personal anecdotes successes, but I will make an exception here.&nbsp; First my comments, if taken in the context they were presented in, were not directed to someone wishing to make riches off coin flipping modern coins from the mint.&nbsp;&nbsp; My comments were meant for holding the coin as a collector/bullion investor and not trying to beat other coin flippers at their own game.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Now to what you posted.&nbsp;&nbsp; So you bought one of these sets for $100 and sold it to someone for $500.&nbsp; If you sold it on eBay, I&#039;ll assume, this means you made a profit of ~$350 off each one of these sets.&nbsp;&nbsp; (assuming your story is true and you were lucky enough to beat out the other flippers)If you sold 5 of these sets you made the big profit of $1750.&nbsp; This is assuming you were able to time the coin flipping market exactly.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Today you would gain about $1100 if you sold 5 sets.&nbsp; This is a 44%/year return.&nbsp; Not bad I suppose.&nbsp; &nbsp; Now if, instead, you had purchased a single Jackson&#039;s Liberty First Spouse coin in 2008, low mintage, at $619 you could sell it today for $1900. This is a 102%/year return and this requires no coin flipping schemes, hoping you hit it right and this coin is still going up in value, not down.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think my point is proven.</p><p><br /></p><p>OH and BTW, this time you will be competing against the likes of Apmex and other similiar dealers who have decided to get into this game.&nbsp;&nbsp; Good luck with that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
