<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3168157, member: 112"]Now then, regarding the investment issue and that larger denomination examples might make better choices for investment purposes. If I've said it once I've said it a million times - coins are arguably just about the worst investment one could ever make. But even aside from that, large denomination examples have another aspect that must be considered - liquidity. Simply because they are more expensive there are smaller, often much smaller, numbers of collectors who would even be capable of buying them let alone be willing to buy them. And when it comes to investments - that is not a good thing ! And then there's the fact that high dollar coins can and often do lose up to half, or more, or their value in just a month or two if and when the market takes a turn. And when it comes to investments - that is not a good thing !</p><p><br /></p><p>Conversely, the smaller denomination coins may only lose 10-20% of their value during the same market turn. So purely from an investment point of view it's not hard to see which is the better option. But as I said, coins are terrible, worse than terrible, investments to begin with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
