<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2390482, member: 1892"]Well said. The keys tend to move stably; over the long run your profit as a percentage of initial investment won't change a whole lot in any particular period of time regardless of the starting date. If you're in it solely for the profit margin, of course you arrange to make the largest investments first, but who does a high-end typeset with ultimate profit margin as the major priority? Typesets are a pursuit of passion; those seeking long-term gain are better off just snagging random keys as they become available at a price offering best growth. That might mean your first half-dozen coins are all Morgans or SLQ's or anything else appropriate.</p><p><br /></p><p>A well-done typeset requires a degree of generalized expertise not available to the newer collector, especially factoring the wide variance in the quality of coins in slabs. The appropriate advice for an experienced collector would not be the same as that due a beginner who chose a typeset as a target, but in every case "know the issue and exercise discipline" is paramount.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
