<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 2283022, member: 15929&quot;]Even the Finest, in Modern Coinage, is easily trumped by a 1 point higher grade which is very easy for an astute collector.

You and I know that 90% Silver Kennedy&#039;s were hoarded by the millions.</p><p><br /></p><p>What happens when they get moved to the CPG &quot;Appendices&quot;? Or even dropped from the &quot;Registries&quot;?</p><p><br /></p><p>At that point, its &quot;AMF&quot;! Adios Money Factory!</p><p><br /></p><p>A good &quot;investment&quot; is one which climbs in value over the long haul. Sure, it can drop in price but usually only temporarily. It then would achieve an even higher price at a later auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Thin Markets&quot; are not good &quot;Investment Markets&quot; and Modern Coins, in general, are lousy investments since the Modern Coin Market tends to be very &quot;fickled&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
