<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBK, post: 134328, member: 1101&quot;]With all due respect to the obviously young/new collectors here who are hoarding common coins and are criticizing experienced (older) collectors who know better, how about listening and learning?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to save 1,000,000 nickels - go ahead, have fun.&nbsp; But, these hoarders are obviously expecting to make big money.&nbsp; If you can sell your newly minted nickels at a premium, take the money and run.&nbsp; There has been a bubble that will burst.&nbsp; It is speculators feeding on each other.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As has been said already, most new issues, hyped issues, etc. never see significant appreciation.&nbsp; The recent examples are Bicentennial coins, 1964 Jeffersons, etc. but it also goes back a hundred years.&nbsp; 1883 Liberty nickels are not worth what you would expect in high grade because so many were saved, and Columbian Expo halves are still not very expensive.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>EVERYONE is saving the new nickels and quarters.&nbsp; There are far too many around for them to ever be worth anything long term.&nbsp; Sure, if you wait 50 years maybe you can triple your money, but if you invested in almost anything else you would do a lot better.&nbsp; All those people who hoarded silver certs or $2 bills back in the 1960s could have been millionaires if they had just put their cash in the stock market, for example.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do what makes you happy, but stop trying to convince the rest of us that you are financial wizards.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
