<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MrOrange1970, post: 2840106, member: 80547&quot;]I buy mutual funds for investment, stocks for a bit of educated speculation and coins purely for enjoyment.&nbsp; Like others, I prefer unslabbed coins though I agree that moving them later is more of a challenge.&nbsp; Sadly, unless my kids pick-up the hobby I will have to value and sell the coins prior to my demise to make sure a fair price is received.&nbsp; I have tried my best to raise interest with the stories of the coins I collect, though so far it&#039;s fallen on deaf ears. </p><p><br /></p><p>That said, I will continue to do what I enjoy and collect what I can afford.&nbsp; There is something to holding a piece of history and preserving it for the future that I will enjoy whether or not I receive any financial gain from it. </p><p><br /></p><p>My advice would be to only buy the best of the best if you&#039;re investing and make sure it&#039;s not a manufactured rarity due to there just not being many submissions due to the cost/reward factor.&nbsp; If you get the absolute best 1877 Indian Head cent available, chances are if it&#039;s certified, you will get your money back and then some in a few years.&nbsp; Buy the highest grade 1972 Eisenhower and you&#039;re on your own there...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
