<p>[QUOTE="crystalk64, post: 51310, member: 1873"]There are a million different ways to go at this so in a sense everyone is right. You must make up your OWN mind and stick with your decision as jumping around can create a mess. Personally, if I were going to invest in anything this given day it would be high grade Morgan silver dollars as THEY ARE NOT MAKING THEM ANY MORE!!! With all the masses that have joined the collecting ranks in the last 5 to 6 years Morgan dollars, especially Carson City and key dates, have doubled and tripled in value. Some more than that! Of course, as in any investment, there is a downside and that is what goes up, sooner or later, could come down and probably will. I feel very very safe buying Morgan dollars at this time but have also started looking at old currency as they are not making them anymore either and I really admire what the engravers did in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Really just want the notes to have for the little boy someday as I am afraid they will be out of sight of normal incomes some day. Pick your items, or do as many of us do, diversify! Put a little in gold, little in silver and have fun with everything else. Once you start on anything you will probably ease off of the investment concerns and just enjoy what you are doing! Hey, I hated foreign coins for most of my life and I now have one massive silver euro commorative collection, circulating euro collection and most circulating commemorative $2 euro collection. Kept asking myself why but now that the euro is about $1.30 to our dollar well it looks like I finally did something right? Guess I saw the opportunity to start collecting euro's when the rest of the world started and all I needed was a sure fire way to get them here without paying dealer prices. Took a few months but now I have my little network all over Europe. I can't get every silver euro issued but thanks to this darn computer I have managed to build a very nice collection and make new friends all over the world! And, more importantly I am learning some history and culture that I wasn't taught and I don't have to look at the same dead Presidents every time I pick up a coin![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
