<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pairunoyd, post: 1416460, member: 17595&quot;]I know this is woefully simplistic and of course you can lose money investing in coins, but coins from 200 yrs ago that are mint condition are worth a fortune. Obviously, you cant invest in a coin and then hold it for 200 yrs, but you can see that they do indeed appreciate. The error coin I mentioned above may be a bad example, since it has so quickly reached a high price and its questionable whether the error will be of significance in the future. Personally, it seems to me that the state quarter program brought in a lot of new collectors. The vast majority very casual, non-investors, but Im sure it introduced many people that will do it life-long and become hardcore. That this coin, so far as I know, stands out among all of them, insofar as current interest and errors, seems to me a very promising position for it to be in. The downer IMO is the number that have been certified, though the total number of existing coins is very low.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also know that being educated can give you an advantage. Im reading The Expert&#039;s Guide by Bowers. Its a beautiful hardcover that I snagged off ebay for less than $9 delivered! I&#039;m having fun with it and I&#039;m hoping my interest doesn&#039;t wane and I continue to learn and can use it to my advantage. Really wish I had a local coin dealer. grrr. Next week maybe I&#039;ll take 1/2 the day to drive to the next city and visit a few.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
