If you "invested" in MS65 Morgans in 1989 no matter how good your planning that was a miserable investment and you had to hold those coins more than 20 years just to break even, (of course you still didn't since inflation had subsequently eroded the value of the dollar). </p><p><br /></p><p>I am with Doug, no matter how smart you are, how much you know, how well you plan, luck will always be a part of it. Only those who have only had good luck will contest this fact I believe, ascribing to their performance superior intellect, and ignoring luck.
