<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Barnabus, post: 1950746, member: 71080&quot;]I understand what you say. For sure. I am just conveying that investing in coins, usually cannot go wrong. Even if you pay a significant amount more. I do not mean buying a $1,000.00 coin for $2,000.00, although that may even be okay in time if you are young enough when you buy it. I will tell you of my most recent purchases, let me know what you think:</p><p><br /></p><p>1914 15 Kopeks Russia VF+/XF condition $8.49</p><p>1882 1 Lev Bulgaria VF/VF+ condition $4.50</p><p>1944 2 Shillings GBR VF+ condition $5.95</p><p>1969 5 Schilling Austria VF+/XF condition $2.24</p><p>1957 100 Yen Japan VF+/XF condition $7.70 (Phoenix coin)</p><p>1905 J 1/2 Mark Germany F+/VF condition $1.99</p><p>1907 A 1/2 Mark Germany VF+ condition $5.00</p><p>1908 A 1/2 Mark Germany VF condition $5.00</p><p>1918 G 1/2 Mark Germany F+/VF condition $5.54</p><p>1876 A 1 Mark Germany F+ condition $5.50</p><p>1875 A 1 Mark Germany F condition $5.50</p><p>1876 C 50 Pfennig Germany F+/VF condition $5.00</p><p>1919 20 cents China Kwan-Tung Province F+/VF condition $5.54</p><p>1886 10 cents United States VG+/F condition $4.00</p><p><br /></p><p>Total coin #: 14</p><p>Total Cost: $71.95</p><p>Total average cost per coin: $5.14</p><p><br /></p><p>I personally have no specific interest in any of these at all, I just collect what I do not have. If I see a coin for a price I think is reasonable, then I pick it up. I try to only get ones I do not have. When I am buying these I am bidding at around the last 60 seconds of an auction, so I don&#039;t usually have time to research values. I purchased these over the last 2 days. I know some of these are more than current book price suggests I think. I have not actually looked any of these up yet to see how I made out. I will wait to hear opinions here before I do look them up. When I look them up I will first look through my 82 KM book, and then the new one. Once I get some opinions, I will post up what the 82 value was, and what the current value is book wise.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
