<p>[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 3066814, member: 90692"]Keeping these types of coins help you build a collection, not make you rich. Keep in mind that if you have these and keep them for 50 years, you are betting that everyone else will not be doing the same. So, when you try to sell them 50 years from now, everybody else who saved them will be selling them too. They are not going to be rare or scarce. That means their value will stay about the same for the next 50 years. Look at NGC or PCGS price guides for business strikes from the '60s and you will see how little they have appreciated. Doesn't mean they are not suitable to build a collection that a grandson would treasure. And along the way, you just might find a few special ones.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know this may be a bubble buster for you, but modern, AU condition coins are being found from circulation and saved by the millions.
