<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NotSure, post: 785460, member: 20034&quot;]I couldn&#039;t agree more with what CamaroDMD said.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The &#039;edge&#039; errors, while going for decent money right now, will go the way of the &#039;extra leaf&#039; and &#039;extra tree&#039; varieties.&nbsp; Just like the &#039;missing edge lettering&#039; GW, which was big $$ out of the chute, then plummeted.&nbsp; There will be some renewed interest with Lincoln coming out, but after that, I don&#039;t see much happening with them till FDR, Kennedy &amp; Nixon issues.&nbsp; Mintages, while dropping at warp speed, are still going to be in the tens of millions.&nbsp; With mintage numbers like that, while ther WILL be &#039;key/semi-key dates&#039; (there&#039;s &#039;key/semi-key dates in EVERY series, but that doesn&#039;t mean they&#039;re automatically rare, worth big money, etc), the high mintages will not allow this series to be of any big value.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Registry sets have been the only factor in some high prices being paid for high-grade material (not including the error coins).&nbsp; The FDI designated coins are dogs.&nbsp; That was the worst decision I have made in a long, long time, as a collector, and I&#039;m bailing out on them...I&#039;m going to get killed on the prices realized, but I&#039;m getting out now, as I don&#039;t see these gaining any price movement even after the market gets healthier.&nbsp; Going to put those proceeds towards some Bust material.&nbsp; I&#039;ll still keep my subscription for the Presidential First Day Coin Covers (I get 2 of each issue), just to put a Dansco together with one set of covers, and maybe the Covers themselves will draw attention (but this would be another case of &#039;mint packaging premium&#039;), so I&#039;ll keep a full set of sealed, white mint packaged covers.....but I am NOT expecting these to be winners...short term, medium term, or long term.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Finally, for those who think coins are an &#039;investment&#039;, you should re-think your priorities (unless you can afford the 1913 Liberty Head nickel or 1804 Dollar).&nbsp; If your coins increase in value, more power to you.&nbsp; If you are looking for an investment, you should put your money somewhere else.&nbsp; Your collection is just that, a collection, not a portfolio (again, unless you can afford the ultra rarieties...which will always command good money....but even the owners of THOSE coins have sometimes sold at a loss).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
