<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dingodonkey, post: 1483861, member: 25354&quot;](1): Not everybody collects with investment in mind, nor should they.&nbsp; I&#039;d go so far as to say that a _collector_ is making a mistake if they think of what they are doing as investment.&nbsp; If you want to buy coins to grow or protect future value, you can absolutely do that and make money but not very easily as a collector assembling type sets, date sets, etc.&nbsp; It&#039;s a different model completely and looks much more like targeted hoarding.</p><p>(2): That said, I&#039;m suspicious of the general wisdom that culls are always and everywhere worthless and will not appreciate much in value.&nbsp; As more of the pre-modern market moves out of reach for many collectors, these lower-end specimens may develop an appeal of their own.&nbsp; Coins with localized detractions (such as holes, rim bumps, or scratches) but higher-grade details may be big beneficiaries, percentage-wise.&nbsp; Or I could be totally wrong with my crackpot theory... but it seems plausible anyway ;-)</p><p>(3): I&#039;ve seen a few of these holed sets and some of them are pretty darn impressive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
