<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3515575, member: 78244&quot;]Sometimes, you’re just lucky. In my chosen specialization, ancient Chinese coins, I have noticed that the really scarce stuff (hollow-handle spades, pointed knives, etc.) as well as the extremely common stuff (wu zhus, Ban Liangs, Huo Quans) have really increased in value, and in come cases doubled. It’s good for my collection that I already have, but it makes adding types I still need more difficult. Some of the types that were once seen as scarce but are now seen as common (Bu Quans, both Wang Mang and Zhou, as well as Huo Bu spades and Ming knives) have decreased in value. Luckily I tend to buy things on the cheap side so that I won’t lose money in the long run. It’s nice that I will be making money on this collection, but it is not important.</p><p><br /></p><p>The area that has really exploded in value are post-1100 AD cash coins. However, some of the most profitable types are the hardest to authenticate, and after buying 2 or 3 fakes I have abandoned this area. If making money was important to me, then I would be investing more time into learning how to authenticate coins in that area which I have otherwise little interest in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
