[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 17303, member: 112"]Whether we like it or not - a lot of collectors pursue this hobby with investment in mind. This is not always wise, in fact it seldom is. But if you are going to do it then do so with a purpose. I'll tell you right now it requires an extreme effort in study and research, factors of times more so than any other investment vehicle. Learning to understand the stock market and be reasonably certain of success is much easier. So either collect coins because you like them and it gives you pleasure or invest your money elsewhere. But - if you are determined to invest in coins then purchase only the highest grades possible for a given coin. Buy only the key dates for a series an look to rarity and quality as the only things that matter.
