Any gold will go up as gold does of course... 2006W just turned out to have a lower mintage than expected, and then everyone wanted to jump on it because it looked like it might become a semi-key.

Most are no more than double melt value at most. Platinum eagles have pretty low mintages. Might be worth looking into if you can afford it. Try to spot the popular commemoratives. The Buffalo dollar was a big one, and is still very high for a silver dollar commem. Get the 10th anniversary platinum eagle set if you can afford it. The first lady coins, especially the Libertys, may turn out to go well. Other than that it's more luck than anything else.[/QUOTE]
