<p>[QUOTE="jakoman, post: 1749065, member: 50646"]O, and I have seen one collection that I truley consider a growing investment. An Ex's father busted out with some of what he had stashed in a large open area in the ducts(The really good stuff is in safety deposit boxes or hidden safes where they lived. He had well over 1000 MS64+ morgans, several full books for all american coins, bank bags he had not looked through yet(he gave me a couple to search through <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. O, did I mention mom worked as a teller in a bank...</p><p> </p><p>I cant really call it an investment though seeing that it is too beautifull and complete a collection to ever break up, lol.</p><p> </p><p>Most collections do not have more than 50 coins worth over 800 by them selves(gold not included) The collection above had every set offered by the mint excluding medals and commeritaves been ordering them as far back as he could remember, even the platinums. I wouldn't consider my collection an investment at the moment, It is what I like collecting. Mostly pennies and a good ammount of proofs that were bought individually. I used to go into shops and buy their common silver coin trays out if they were asking close to melt. I would also purchase any gold I could afford, fully intending on selling both when prices got high enough.</p><p> </p><p>I think I would enjoy refilling my books, searching through lots and getting some uncommon coin types like the 3 and 20 cent coins. Shoot yo can occasioal catch me wandering the desert trying to find a sister to the gold nugget that was found "somewhere between the mohave and siearra deserts, armed with a metal detector and a sandbox shovel.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
