<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 19287, member: 68"]There are numerous moderns which have already shown returns far over 8X.

In fact if you'd held out until you found a nice gem specimen it would sell now for over a couple hundred dollars or 800X face value. Most coins made in the last thirty five years for circulation have significant premiums in high grade. This is because of a multitude of factors but largely it is a simple reflection of the fact that people didn't save them.
