<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 1831439, member: 44357&quot;]I agree. While I&#039;m personally not in it only for the investment aspects (I thoroughly enjoy the coins themselves), the investment opportunity cost of holding coins has to be taken into account. It doesn&#039;t take much effort to analyze many different types and look at the trend of nice coins - the right coins have consistently increased in value. It&#039;s true that not every coin will always appreciate significantly, but overall, I&#039;m much more comfortable keeping money in coins than in stocks and I get a heck of a lot more enjoyment out of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>To doug&#039;s point, I don&#039;t think we&#039;ll have any trouble finding a sufficient number of well-heeled collectors in the future to absorb all of our collections as ancient coins appeal to a global audience (I&#039;m constantly seeing bids against me from Brazil/Japan/Russia) and wealth merely shifts around rather than being created/destroyed. As for the interest in coins waning: I think US coins have some risk in this regard but the global appeal of ancients and significant ties to our world&#039;s collective history, on top of the finite supply of &quot;things&quot; (you can only have so many private jets!), will likely keep the collector base well-fueled.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
