<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 2590867, member: 5233"]Two things factor into this. One is how many of the coins survive (the rarity) and the other is the demand (the price). So, what you are looking for is a rare coin that few people want. If you are banking on such a coin someday being valuable...I won't bank on that. The reason is..the cost is low for a reason and trends don't change much. Why would a coin that is 80 years old suddenly soar in popularity and demand overnight? </p><p><br /></p><p>If you are really trying to hit it big...I would think the better gamble would be to look for more modern issues. Modern mint issues that didn't sell well (perhaps some of the first spouse coins). Since they are so new...their market could still take off. It hasn't been stagnant for decades. Still, it's a risk though.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it were me, I would not worry about trying to make money and simply collect the things that make you happy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
