<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 8283938, member: 105571&quot;]I have to say that &quot;coin collecting&quot; and &quot;investing&quot; are mutually exclusive terms for most of us.&nbsp; Not to say that there aren&#039;t exceptions, nothing is absolute.&nbsp; But my advice would be to separate these endeavors.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re buying bullion coins for hedging or investment purposes, then you have to buy this material as close to spot prices as you can possibly achieve.&nbsp; If you&#039;re paying $3 or $4 above spot for a coin, then you are probably not going to recover that investment in any reasonable amount of time.&nbsp; And remember that the value of what you&#039;ve accumulated is exactly what you can get somebody else to pay you for it, not what you&#039;ve paid for it.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>It isn&#039;t at all clear what you&#039;re asking about with this question.&nbsp; As a general rule, if you want a numismatic coin to have the greatest chance of an increase in valuation over a reasonable (two to 10 years) period of time, then you have to focus on the best of the best grade and/or eye appeal and/or rarity.&nbsp; For the coin types you mentioned these can range in price from a few thousand dollars to six figures or even more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Happy to exchange views but maybe narrow the focus of your question.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
