<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 35688, member: 1674&quot;]If you have an advisor who you trust who thinks that gold/silver/platinum are good investments than the &quot;coins&quot; (most consider them strickly bullion) you linked to are as good an example as any, since their value is directly tied to their bullion values, not their numismatic value.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to make good &quot;investment&quot; decisions in coins, then you need to do A LOT of research on the series you intend to invest in.&nbsp; Become familiar with the coins long before you start purchasing and you greatly reduce the liklihood of being scammed during your purchase.&nbsp; Also, be aware that, like any investment, your capital is AT RISK and could decline in value.&nbsp; Finally, the problem with &quot;investing&quot; in coins is that they can sometimes be very difficult to sell for what (you think) they are worth, since the right buyer may not be looking when you go to sell.&nbsp; (This problem is much diminished when dealing in bullion, as it will always sell for basically its bullion value.)</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>All that said, most &quot;coin people&quot; will tell you that coins are a hobby and not an investment.&nbsp; Making money selling coins is dealing, not investing, and the money is made in bringing buyers and sellers together, not amassing coins today that will be worth more tomorrow.&nbsp; The bottom line here is what jody said, find an investment advisor and get their advice.&nbsp; My guess is that s/he will recommend something other than coins, even if you specifically ask about them.&nbsp; This is not a function of the advisor disliking coins, this is the advisor knowing what they are talking about.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck!</p><p>CJD[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
