<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 74687, member: 3011"]Nobody knows if they will be a good investment. If the future was easily predicted, everyone would be rich. But I don't think you would be wasting your money buying any of the AGEs -- there is no such thing as a bad gold coin provided you don't overpay. But here is an off-the-wall suggestion. Instead of trying to build a date set of AGEs, which limits many people to the 1/10th ounce coins because of the cost, buy the one-half ounce coins instead even if you can get only one. You might never complete the date set for the 1/2 ounce coins, but they have a couple of advantages. First, the mintages are lower than the 1/10th ounce. Second, it is the only $25 coin ever issued by the US Mint, which might make it a "must have" coin for certain type sets someday. Will these factors make a few 1/2 ounce coins a better holding than a full set of 1/10th ounce coins acquired for the same amount of money? I sure don't know. But if I was going to buy another AGE today, it would be the $25 half-ounce for those reasons. Then just put it away, look at it occasionally, and hope for the best.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also keep in mind that this suggestion is worth exactly what you paid for it, and comes without any guarantees.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
