<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 8353631, member: 87200&quot;]Fun and informative yes, investment grade, not so much except in the case of the rare and valuable coins everyone wants. To give you an example I have a Mars-reverse antoninianus of Gordian III that I obtained in 1980 for $30. Fast forward 42 years and the coin might go for $60. </p><p><br /></p><p>So that is not a very good investment compared to even an index fund like the S&amp;P 500 or Nasdaq. It&#039;s a nice coin to be sure but it just hasn&#039;t appreciated much. Late Roman bronzes are more of the same for the most part. Rare and valuable stuff like aurei of Brutus and Caesar have appreciated and attracted investor-collectors since there seems to be a great run up in auction prices for such items. </p><p><br /></p><p>You might do better with art and fractional art funds....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
