<p>[QUOTE=&quot;littlehugger, post: 3145607, member: 58633&quot;]One way to straddle the Investment/Collection dilemma, is to collect modern bullion coins. Such as the various gold eagles and American Silver Eagles. (ASE&#039;s) Mint sets, Proof sets, Kennedy halves, etc.</p><p>Most of these don&#039;t circulate, so even low mintage years can be found, and are reasonable. Also, most of their price reflects their bullion value. So only a small portion is the numismatic value. So, a gold set should retain a very significant percentage of its value.</p><p>&nbsp;Just don&#039;t sell it to a dealer. Tell your kids not to sell it to a dealer either. Heck, come here and ask for advice first!</p><p>&nbsp;Another good point is, modern coinage has really gone up in quality. Most coins like these, never meant for circulation, come from the mint in very high grade. So you should be able to fill whole sets with glittering proof or Mint State coins, although don&#039;t go overboard, because the set is intended to retain a high value. Paying significantly extra to get&nbsp; 70 is going to greatly raise the cost, with an unlikely payoff[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
