<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2800005, member: 71723&quot;]The poster above me covered it. Don&#039;t buy that type of material expecting to make a profit. It&#039;s too ubiquitous. Everybody has it. It is subject to something close to the 90/10 rule. 90% of it, you&#039;ll take a loss. 10% of it, usually precisely when you stop, will appreciate wildly. This is not Murphy&#039;s Law. When the prevailing opinion turns to &quot;Don&#039;t buy that crap&quot;, mintages plummet and keys to the series are created. I offer as one classic example the Atlanta Olympics program coins in 1995-96. People felt abused by the Mint and tons of people decided to quit buying modern commems. Guess what. The Atlanta Olympics coins are aftermarket winners. When issues are popular, wait. When everybody is upset and ticked off, buy extras. Do you have the stomach for that?</p><p><br /></p><p>As it pertains to proof bullion per se (AGE&#039;s, APE&#039;s) yeah, they&#039;re usually losers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
