[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 99264, member: 2972"]A few points about Heritage... First, the prices listed in My Collection from the various sources are very old and have not been updated in months. Second, their Internet Only auctions for the most part are of generally common and/or cheaper coins. The better coins are in their signature auctions. Third, the prices they get for coins are generally very strong, as are their consignment fees. Fourth, you should not look at coins as an investment unless you buy the finest coins on the market, generic gold, or have a buy and hold mentality -- to do otherwise will only cause disappointment as the margins on coins are generally 15-30% (or more) and that's a lot to make up from an investment position. You are better off buying bullion or real estate or stocks/mutal funds where the fees are cheaper and the market more liquid. Hope this helps...Mike[/QUOTE]
