<p>[QUOTE="Collector1966, post: 1172550, member: 17919"]That's not always the case-- I bought a lot of "common dreck" (otherwise known as "junk silver") about 20 years ago at 3.2 to 3.6 times face, and it has appreciated a lot. I recently sold some for 6-7 times what I paid for it. In contrast, I bought an AU $5 Capped Liberty at around the same time, and it hasn't even doubled in price since then. And I can't think of any of the other higher-grade early US coins that I have bought that have appreciated anywhere near as much as my common dreck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
