<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 23376, member: 68&quot;]In 1964 a 1950-D nickel was worth $130 in today&#039;s money.&nbsp; In 1995 it was worth less than $3.&nbsp; Today it&#039;s back up to $10.&nbsp; This coin was considered the best investment in all of coins back in it&#039;s day.&nbsp; There were only a couple million available and people figured it was a sure thing since there were 20 million coin collectors and we were growing. Then the coin shortage hit and the government took many steps to discourage coin collectors. The roll market collapsed and there weren&#039;t any buyers for this coin as an investment and the collectors all had one.&nbsp; No matter how well thought out a plan is, it is worthless until you can sell the coin for more than you paid.&nbsp; Times change and collectors change.&nbsp; There are no sure things.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>An increase in silver and gold do not automatically translate to higher premiums for silver and gold coins.&nbsp; This happened in 1980 because those with profits were putting them back into silver and gold coins.&nbsp; If metals went up now there would be fewer people with profits and they might buy copper coins or world coins or even something outside of collecting altogether.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
