<p>[QUOTE="buddy16cat, post: 1469524, member: 37356"]Not that I know much about coins but based on a coin article someone posted recently, if you want to buy a coin as an investment, you need to think and act like a collector and buy a coin because you like it, not because it would make a good investment. I know on CNBC they talk about coins as an alternative investment along with stamps and books here: <a href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/39580354/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/39580354/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cnbc.com/id/39580354/</a>. If I wanted to buy coins as an investment I would buy junk silver. The term "junk" does not apply to many of the coins in junk. Some have just not matured yet as a collector's item like silver Roosevelt's or some just wound up there during spiked silver prices. A collector is more likely to do their homework when it comes to particular coins and know its worth and make a more wise purchase although they can and do make mistakes sometimes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
