<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Speedy, post: 164634, member: 705&quot;]I think you also have to look at what years the coins were minted at---the ones you show were minted years and years ago---and back then few people could even afford to keep much change because times were hard---In fact I can&#039;t remember totaly right but were the 1804 Silver Dollars even in circulation??...if not then no one could have gotten them for face anyway---the thing is those coins had LOW mintages and they were kept for more than 150 years more than likely---now find a coin that is minted today with a low mintage and that is hard to find---get it for face value and keep it for 150+ years and then maybe you will make some money.....I would be the first to say that I could be wrong and more than likely am wrong---I know so little about coins---when I started to &quot;collect&quot; coins about 5 years ago I did it for investment or to make a fast buck---I found out pretty fast that I was thinking the wrong way---but one you start collecting coins you just can&#039;t stop so I went on the collecting mode and been loving it ever since!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Like Doug said---I really have never made any money either---in fact most of the time I take less when selling---there are coins such as the 1914 D Cent that I made $10 on--but I had held onto that coin for a few years...investers normal don&#039;t hold onto items a really long time---they want to buy and sell fast and make money---with coins while it isn&#039;t a never never its not the easies thing to do and most of the time you have to be in the market along time to do it.</p><p>I&#039;ve sold a good many coins in my 5-6 years of collecting---in fact I&#039;ve sold off a good part of my collection----and its harder than most people think to make money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Speedy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
