<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 956604, member: 26302"]Year in year out you cannot go far wrong buying nice grade collectible coins. My definition of that is XF/AU Bust, Seated Liberty, Indian head cents, large cents, halfpennies, etc. I say that since there is never enough to promote, they aren't "investment grade" so do not get promoted that way either. Promotion means something will go up too fast, meaning it can also go down just as fast. I would also put AU/lower MS early commemoratives.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would stay away from more modern coins if your experience in the coin market is just a few years. I have seen modern issues rise and fall over and over too many times to ever think they are a good long term investment unless you know better than 90% of the collector base. The older stuff in collectible grades always have a buyer, regardless of what fad is in style.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
