[QUOTE="Volodya, post: 3699520, member: 19615"]Three points: 1.) I've never considered my collection as an investment and would never advise anyone to view their collection that way. 2.) If I were to sell my collection, in the appropriate auction with sufficient lead time, I would expect to do exceptionally well. 3.) In general, [B]focused [/B]collections of ancient coins, formed over a few decades or more with taste and expertise, have performed quite nicely as "investments."
