<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2391807, member: 26302"]I agree with Topcat. Demand is the real wildcard here, and is something you can never predict. Yes, half cents are undervalued versus other US coins, but they have been for a century. What will change that fact? It could get worst. I completely followed your logic OP yet its not that simple. It very well might turn out buying bags of new coins at face would have been the best move, or modern mint products, or simply bullion. No way of telling, that is why, while I know there is value in my collection, I never consider it an "investment". I consider wasted hobby money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, another argument, a stronger one, would be to buy only coins that fit your criteria because it forces you to think about your purchase, and buy truly scarce coins which historically have held their value, (meaning they will cost more in the future to buy). That is a stronger argument IMHO and still a hobby-centric one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
