[QUOTE="Rono, post: 248507, member: 6492"]Hi clembo, Thanks for the suggestions. I've read most and am still reading Travis and Bowers and everything I can get my hands on. I'm more of a collector than an investor, but more of an investor than a speculator. With bullion, for example, having 3-5% is an investment . . . having more is speculation. Anyway, I like your picks - particularly the V nickels. The 12-s is great and even higher grade 12-d have some room to run. I picked up an XF 1864L IHC back a year or so and it's been a great coin. In my case, I'm not looking to turn around a quick buck, but hold for the longer term as a solid store of wealth. At the same time, I'll probably increase my annual mint purchases to include the gold stuff which heretofore has been out of my price range.
