Message:: [QUOTE="JCB1983, post: 832021, member: 23885"]I am very excited to begin collecting again, I spent years finding and focusing on my arrowhead collection.  Here is where I am at with my coin collection.  I have a backpack full of coins that I inherited from my grandfathers collection.  I've only sorted through them 3 times in the last 5 years and had no idea what I was looking at.  He was in WW2 so I think they were coins he collected overseas.  That collection is in my parents safe in MD.  As soon as I get ahold of them I'll take pictures and post them on here for your opinions.  My collection or actually my sons collection consists of 12 Half Barbers G-F, a few seated liberty quarters, 2 Capped bust halfs, 1 bust quarter, and one draped large cent.  I'd like to focus on old U.S. silver and coinage.  I guess my question involves longterm investment and market trends of these coins.  Somone out there has an idea in their head of how barbers, busts values would look like 50 years from now.  I would love to hear any opinions.  Being that I don't have the deepest pockets in the world, I'm on a coin budget of about $200 a month.  I struggle between buying 5-10 half barbers or holding out for 1 nice bust.  I would love any opinions on building this collection or opinions of future market conditions.  I realize these questions are kind of blunt and naive with no short answer, but any advice would be great! =0:eating:[/QUOTE]
