[QUOTE="clembo, post: 248462, member: 8033"]A darn good question and I think it should be long term. I'll soon be 45 and buy coins that I like but that I also think will appreciate nicely over the next 20 years or so. I'm heavily into type so I guess I take an even greater risk but most of what I've bought in the past 10 years has done pretty well and I still have them. I would go with slabs all thw way no matter what people may think. I would also sell them slowly as needed not try and make a huge profit all at once. There are so many ways to see what a particular coin is doing at any time that it can help you decide what to sell and when. As for the coins you mentioned investing in I like your choices - I don't think the keys and semi-keys will take a plunge as much of the "high grade" modern stuff will. I look for "sleepers" as well in any condition that fits my budget. Used to snatch up 27-S Standing Liberty quarters in G-VG for $6 and look at them now. NOT huge money but a nice margin. Just a few potentials I might add to your list. 1912-S Liberty Nickel (mintage 238,000) 1885 Liberty Nickel (the key and always going up) 1914-S Barber Quarter (4th lowage mintage but WAY behind the top three in value) 1913, 14 and 15 Barber Halves. Good luck in what you decide![/QUOTE]
