<p>[QUOTE="Dillan, post: 3582122, member: 90539"]Personally I would be looking to buy pre 1964 90% silver coins. If you can buy them unc. at a good price that is what I would do . Find a good dealer and let them know what your wanting and they will most likely be able to get what ever it is that you want. Now for coins after 1964 I buy low mintage productions made by the various mints. Some of those have done well as far as increasing in value. I am talking about coins with a mintage of less than 100K. Not all do well but the ones that do well seem to make up for the ones that do not. There was a set of coins featuring different Birds first year I believe was 2007 , the mintage was low and the prices for those have increased very well. I also look to buy old coins , in the 1800s early 1900s . These may not increase in value but they should hold their value. As far as ancients go , well that is a whole different ball game which I am just barely familiar with . I prefer the coins made for circulation in a uncirculated condition over the proof coins . The proofs are pretty to look at but getting a high MS circulation coin I feel is just as good and seem to retain their value. These are my opinions , and take from it what you want . Others I am sure have their own ways of collecting. The main thing is only spend what you can afford , and keep it fun and take the time to learn about the coins that you purchase they will mean a lot more to you that way. Good Hunting !!
