<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Prime Mover, post: 1886766, member: 38783&quot;]Great!&nbsp; Something more substantial that can be debated <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Where to begin...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As stated, I do not dispute your actual opinion, you&#039;re entitled to it, and I&#039;m entitled to agree or disagree.&nbsp; And, it does not really differ from mine, and I have stated as much.&nbsp; I&#039;m simply arguing that nothing more than your opinion was used as a statement of fact, which is the definition of uniformed.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ahh yes, since you obviously know me very well, and know what my collection entails, and are sure that yours is bigger.&nbsp; Because, size, after all, is the end game and the obvious measure of knowledge and ability.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And this data is culled from where?&nbsp; I do not have numbers on this, so please cite your source.&nbsp; I do not necessarily debate this isn&#039;t true, but I would not state so unless there&#039;s clear evidence.&nbsp; Or, I would preface the statement with &quot;it&#039;s my belief that...&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>And, further, size of following has what to do with it?&nbsp; The following of the 1913 Liberty Head Nickel is far smaller I assume, since there were only 5 known to be made.&nbsp; Yet it is one of the most valuable coins in the world, and it&#039;s value seems to be appreciating just fine at the moment.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The point is that even though there may be less interested parties, there are other aspects that help make up value such as rarity, history, etc.&nbsp; Valid reasoning cannot be one-legged.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Well, yes, I finally find an actual fact I agree with.&nbsp; Considering this is apples to oranges however, it&#039;s not really a valid argument.&nbsp; Considering there are only 8 coins out of 40 in the series which have any silver content at all, the tying of value of this entire series to PM content is illogical, and I believe incorrect.</p><p><br /></p><p>Extending your logic then, the only coins which will ever appreciate are basically the graded bullion?&nbsp; Unless they&#039;re full of PM, there&#039;s no way it will appreciate in value?&nbsp; I guess I should sell everything I have and buy slabbed silver and gold.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t see how this answers the OPs question.&nbsp; He never asked for what would be a better investment choice.&nbsp; He asked whether the Ike series itself would appreciate in value over time.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you want a better investment choice, head on over to the stock market.&nbsp; Coins are a horrible investment choice.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, thank you for such a well rounded debate, I feel so defeated at the moment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
