A fine style coin can easily sell for 5 times more than an average style specimen. Myself, I care more about what the coin is than its condition, so I collect rare items maybe not in the highest grade and am happy. </p><p><br /></p><p>Overall, for any collectible, knowledge is power. However, I find all collectibles to be more hobby worthy, and never an "investment". Too high buy/sell spreads, lower liquidity, costs of insuring for risk of loss, etc. Enjoy a hobby as a hobby, and if your heirs sell it for some money good for them. Short of that, a person needs to be a dealer like [USER=24314]@Insider[/USER] mentioned, with the demands of knowledge there but without the joy of collecting IMHO. Nothing wrong with it, its just not collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
