Message:: [QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 2841655, member: 86498"]I cannot comment on modern coins and my comments may only be valid for ancients coins. When I was very young someone told me that if you wish to invest you should only use money that you can afford to lose. Investment is at best a gamble and investing in coins no less. I am in the process of liquidating some of my coins and I can tell you I have done really well on some and have been taken to the cleaners on others. The coins I have done well on are coins that are popular but generally scarce and in high grade. The ones I have generally done poorly on are generally low value coins and coins that in areas that are not too popular. Also coins that I have owned for many years have generally done better. Right now I am buying coins I have always wanted to own. I am not sure I will be able to hold on to them for enough time so that I can beat the wholesale to retail spread. At this point I really do not care. I am having fun owning some really great coins. Like this one[ATTACH=full]672442[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
