<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cdcda, post: 51358, member: 941&quot;]I would advise you to consult an investment advisor before purchasing rare coins as a long term investment. Although there are numerous coins whose price trends, when viewed historically make them attractive as investments, this is in fact the exception and not the rule.</p><p><br /></p><p>In order to compute the true return on investment for coins, you must compare an investment to other available options. In other words, how would your money perform for you in placed in real estate, mutual funds, etc. over the same period of time it might be placed in rare coins. And, given the potential Return on Investment, what is the level of rish? Could any of the initial investment be lost (in other words could the coins decrease in value), or could the market soften and reduce the projected annual rate of return?</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a lot to consider here. Talk to an investment advisor and talk to some local dealers. Coin prices are high right now, if you are going to look towards investing in rare coins you want to carefully pick those coins which are historically undervalued currently. In other words, a 1916-D Mercury Dime in mint state grades right now might be overpriced when compared to the same coin in lower circulated grades. Or, you might find that rarities in certain series such as the Jefferson Nickels may be undervalued.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do your research before making an investment. TALK TO AN INVESTMENT ADVISOR and learn your options. Then talk to dealers and find some potential investments and compare them to other available options.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
