<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 3462023, member: 92655"]Here's my take. From a fellow that has collected these addictive coins for close to fifty years....... The last twenty years this hobby has had some dramatic changes. Changes that nobody 25 years ago could have imagined. If you would have asked me 25 years ago what coins to buy, I would have said 09-S, VDB cents and 16-D Mercs. That's because they were legendary back then. They are still valuable pieces, however these days you can find either one in most any shop. In hindsight, if I had purchased some 55 double die cents, I could reap quite the windfall today because the error side of numismatics is what's happening right now.</p><p><br /></p><p>See, thing is there is no possible way to know what may be popular twenty years from now. If it were me and my intent was to truly invest some spare cash, I would likely go with a nice double eagle. Gold has been and always will hold value. I rather believe the market is a bit soft for these old beauties. Personally I would stay away from the investor grade coin. But then I been wrong before.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
