<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Breakdown, post: 645977, member: 19532&quot;]Well, I commend both Stumpy and Hull -- I wish I had been so forward-thinking and investment-minded when I was in college.&nbsp; However, I would be very careful to invest in coins on such a limited budget.&nbsp; Most good financial advisers and also quite a few good coin dealers will tell you that no more than 10-20 percent of your investments should be in rare coins or precious metals.&nbsp; They should be a hedge against the rest of your investments but not the principal part of your investments.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Hull, I have a few Franklins -- I like them but they are pretty dead as a series right now (maybe a good time to buy, I don&#039;t know -- as an example they&#039;ve been saying the same about commem&#039;s for years now and they&#039;re still dead).&nbsp; PCGS is the best service, at least for being able to re-sell the coin on the market.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck to both of you.&nbsp; Glad to see we have some youngsters in the hobby (we need more).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
