[QUOTE="lonegunlawyer, post: 1545112, member: 40282"]Generally, collect what tugs at your heart. Here, however, it sounds like you want to collect something you like that will also have a reasonable possibility of being a good investment. If that is the case, limit your collecting of coins minted in the last 50-60 years or so to ones you really like no matter what happens with value. For the bulk of your collection, I would even recommend finding an older series that appeals to you such as a sub-series of half cents or large cents, two cents, three cents, or even Lincoln wheat cents. Also, foreign coins are a nice addition to any collection. Many really beautiful and interesting coins exist outside the US borders. Also, many of those coins are probably undervalued. Many of the US coins that are worth so much today, looking back, were undervalued 100-150 years ago. Summarily, collect what stirs you, then collect what appeals to you that has a good track record.[/QUOTE]
