<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Johnson, post: 3161108, member: 96020&quot;]One thing you might consider is whether the particular coin you are looking at is &#039;investment&#039; grade or &#039;collector&#039; grade.&nbsp; When you look at a price guide, look at the percentage of price increase from one grade to the next higher grade.&nbsp; As you move across the grades, you will usually see at some point there is a much larger gap between the two grades.&nbsp; That is because the value of the higher grade is increasing faster than the value of the next lower grade.&nbsp; When you see the big gap, you know the grades to the left are collector grades and the grades to the right are investor grades.&nbsp; The coins to the right will most likely to increase in value at a higher rate than those on the left.&nbsp; That gap occurs at different spots for different coins.&nbsp; When I was young and just trying to move from collecting to investing, the conventional wisdom was XF and higher were investor grades and any below XF were collector grades.&nbsp; But that has changed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
