<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 3221807, member: 17665"]All good advice above. But not all is hopeless as far as profits are concerned. A lot depends upon your time frame. I started collecting in 1966 so I can say that I would likely see a profit on many of my better coins when the time comes. I also started collecting comics the same year. Paying only cover price through the 90's I am going to realize a nice profit having held them for so long. Many of them languished for many years as far as desirability but waiting this long many became sleepers and exploded in price for various reasons. But I'm talking a 50+ year waiting period. Barber halves and quarters have mostly seen some nice increases over the years. And a "sleeper" I would suggest is the Seated Liberty Dime series which has been overlooked for far too long. I'll stay away from P.M.s except to say...watch the market on a regular basis and check Kitco to do so. But do not attempt to "play" the market. Very few have succeeded.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
