<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 51428, member: 3011"]Here is another thought about an approach that might work for investing in coins. If the goal is investing, then it might be smart to look for the coins that the "real collectors" will want in the future. For example, it isn't necessary to collect every Morgan silver dollar or Mercury dime, just a few of the more scarce coins or highly desired coins in the series in a sufficiently high grade to make them interesting to collectors and easy to sell at some point in time. So the collectors will be seeking the complete sets, and the investors will help them out by filling holes, hopefully at a profit. And in the meantime [which may be a very long time], the investor can enjoy a fairly diverse, unusual, but high quality collection of their own with no particular theme. But that said, where would someone get a list of key dates, scarce coins, or whatever else is likely to be sought now and in the future [excluding, of course, the one of a kind coins that are out of reach for 99% of everyone]. I don't know enough [yet] to be able to follow my own suggestion. So comments and suggestions are welcome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
