Message:: [QUOTE="Midas, post: 196794, member: 2761"]To me, every Key date coin and "semi-key" date coin I have acquired since changing my buying habits has exceeded my greatest expectations. What I mean by changing my buying habits is that instead of going to a coin show and buying a bunch of commons, I bought 1 or 2 "key' date coins. At the time, I "cried" at their costs, but looking back, I am soooo glad I pulled the trigger and made this purchase. For instance, about four years ago, I bought a 1972 DDO Lincoln Cent graded MS66 by PCGS for $600 and today, I see dealers asking $1,350 for this key DDO Lincoln. The same goes for CC Morgans.  Here I focused on buying Morgans with low mintage numbers and today, I am glad I made those puchases. Are there any guarantees?  Of course not, but when you see a small known population of coins serving an ever increasing numismatic base, the laws of supply and demand will favor those that acquire these coins NOW, instead of later.[/QUOTE]
