<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 92969, member: 1674&quot;]I want to add to my previous comments now that I&#039;ve re-read the thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>You say you have these coins in your &quot;portfolio&quot; which indicates that you consider this an investment.&nbsp; Investing in rare coins is exceptionally risky and as such most members of this forum would discourage you from doing it.&nbsp; The problems in investing in coins are very difficult for people who aren&#039;t seasoned coin collectors.&nbsp; First you have the basic problem of the coin not performing well, i.e. it might not go up in value.&nbsp; Additionally, there is the problem of buying and then re-selling at market value.&nbsp; Unless you really know what you are doing (which you obviously don&#039;t based on your op) it is exceptionally easy for a qualified coin seller to take advantage of you (on the buying AND selling ends of the deal).&nbsp; Newbies just lack the grasp of the importance of the subtleties of coin grading required for accurate pricing of rare coins.&nbsp; Even professional grading doesn&#039;t really prevent this as the grading companies aren&#039;t all equal and there are good looking and bad looking coins in every grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are interested in investing in gold/silver, that is a very different critter.&nbsp; In such a case, then you should be interested in modern (1987-date) US/Canada/et al. bullion coins.&nbsp; These are beautiful and they sell very close to their bullion value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
