<p>[QUOTE="berneck1, post: 1907413, member: 24201"]Yeah, this doesn't surprise me. Modern clad coins are a poor investment. With very few exceptions, you will always lose. That being said, I respect that some people are collectors first and investors second. I tend to fall in this group. However, if I have the choice to buy a gold/silver version vs a clad version, I ALWAYS go with the gold/silver. </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, when you adjust for inflation, it looks even worse. I'll also add that if you needed money fast, and had to sell quickly, you will probably get even less, especially from a dealer. At least with the silver sets you will always get close to melt value, and can at least spend the rest of the money in it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
