<p>[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 3221601, member: 59737"]I would caution you not to try to buy anything until you really know what you're getting into. The fact of the matter is, very few people make money in coins. Those that do capitalize on their knowledge of coins. If you don't know what would make for good liquidity, than the answer at the moment is: nothing. I haven't personally cracked the egg on this question, so I won't pretend to have the answer. My approach has always been to buy collectible coins as close to melt value as possible. If I really like a coin, I'll pay what I feel is reasonable to acquire it. I separate my hobby and investment funds as well as my hobby and investment coins. There are some websites that assist with determining value. Looking at historic sales could help, but supply and demand is not easy to predict, previous success does not mean future success, and when new and higher grade coins are found, those higher grade coins quickly lose value. Here are some websites you might want to peruse for a while before jumping in and buying big coins:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/</a></p><p><a href="https://coins.ha.com/?ic=breadcrumb-coins-121913-interior" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coins.ha.com/?ic=breadcrumb-coins-121913-interior" rel="nofollow">https://coins.ha.com/?ic=breadcrumb-coins-121913-interior</a></p><p><a href="http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/fmv.shtml" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/fmv.shtml" rel="nofollow">http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/fmv.shtml</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
