<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CentDime, post: 684655, member: 7297&quot;]I think that some key coins can be analyzed similar to how a stock is analyzed, as a commodity I agree that it may not be an exact fit. The thing is though none of know for sure what these coins will do, thus to give advice as though we are the ones that only have the answers is not fair, even to someone that is just starting out.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think some people that say don&#039;t invest in coins say that because their coins have not done well, so they assume that everyone else has done as poorly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some have done extremely well, most have done average, and some have done terribly.</p><p><br /></p><p>(I think we can agree that even the most knowledgeable have been burned on coins in the past.)</p><p><br /></p><p>There is also more than one way to purchase coins and right now as i said I am not sure what that way is with older key date coins. I have done very well with modern coins lately and few think modern coins are a good investment.</p><p><br /></p><p>That is why I think they have done so well, as none of those people bought them so the mintages are historically low.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as analyzing a coins series goes you can look at the market cap of the series, ratios such as total coin population to series keys, price of set to bullion value, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Using this you can gauge how a key coin compares in terms of key coin appreciation potential.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not saying anyone here is wrong in what they are saying, only I am not sure who is right at this time. It is true you want to buy at the right time and sell at the right time, but what BnB wants to know is if now is the right time to buy and what to buy?</p><p><br /></p><p>I say based on the charts now is not the time to buy high premium coins but we will see.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS I don&#039;t think BnB is really buying rare coins but is buying semi-key coins. Rare coins that are truly rare I can&#039;t say any of this applies as they trade on a whole other level.</p><p><br /></p><p>PSS This is also not to say that coin collecting is not a good thing. I have a general coin collection that I enjoy but I don&#039;t look at it as an investment other than in enjoyment. However if one is to approach coins as an investment that is also possible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
