<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clawcoins, post: 4141467, member: 77814&quot;]Coin Collecting is always a doubled edged sword for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Being a Financial person one has to ask themselves what &quot;value&quot; a coin brings (not only emotionally but to your own personal wealth) and &quot;how&quot; does it&#039;s valuation increase/decrease over time.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll let this be the exercise of the people who want, but try to determine all the factors that can affect the price of a coin.&nbsp; To help in the evaluation compare it to other items such as (a) company stock, (b) Beanie Babies, (c) [as above] collectible plates, (d) &quot;vintage&quot; car and even (e) an ounce of gold.</p><p><br /></p><p>but as a starter initial think in basic terms:</p><ul> <li>supply vs demand</li> <li>constant supply of competitive products (ie, new coin series)</li> <li>item/industry exposure/publicity</li> <li>what drives valuation changes</li> </ul><p>Oh what fun. </p><p><br /></p><p>To me the only &quot;investment&quot; grade coins I have are the high valued ones.&nbsp; And at that level whether it increases, stays the same or lowers one has to know when to sell it.&nbsp; After all, a &quot;pure&quot; investment should have no emotional attachment so buy/sell when it&#039;s profitable or trending analysis based on above factors will help dictate when to keep (with a dump % when it&#039;s reached).&nbsp; If you want to keep it for other reasons it&#039;s no longer a pure investment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
