[QUOTE="Mike Thorne, post: 2652209, member: 56869"]I've fooled with coins in one way or another since I was in junior high back in the early 1950s. Although I've never tried specifically to invest in coins, I've done a lot of buying and selling and have nearly always made money on what I sold. My advice in terms of investment would be as follows: 1. Buy over a long period of time. 2. Buy key coins and gold, as the demand will almost always be there. 3. If you don't know what key coins are, you need to do a lot of learning before beginning to buy coins. 4. Stay away from modern mint products. 5. Corollary to that: Buy pre1935 coins. 6. Be sure you pay a price commensurate with the coin's condition. 7. Stick with coins certified by the major services (ANACS, NGC, PCGS). 8. Don't buy problem coins no matter how cheap they seem to be.[/QUOTE]
