<p>[QUOTE=&quot;susannyny, post: 1218530, member: 31977&quot;]Hi all.&nbsp; Brand new member to CoinTalk and to coin collecting in general.</p><p><br /></p><p>While I do have a deep appreciation of coins (my father had a nice US silver coin collection at one time), my primary interest is in coins as an investment. </p><p><br /></p><p>I considered investing in Gold and Silver bullion, but with all the market manipulation taking place I felt that coins were a &#039;safer&#039; bet, being that they have numismatic value.</p><p><br /></p><p>I made a rash, uneducated decision this week and purchased a $20 Saint Guardens (1911-S, PCGS MS64).&nbsp; Ultimately, I believe that Gold itself will continue to rise substantially, so I&#039;m not concerned that I&#039;ll lose money on this purchase, but I do realize that it may not have been the &quot;smartest&quot; investment that I could have made.&nbsp; Clearly, I need to start better educating myself which is why I&#039;m turning to CoinTalk.&nbsp; From reading these Forums the past few days its clear to see that this is a well educated group <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>My goal is to invest $5,000 - $10,000 a year in coins ... again, as an investment opportunity.&nbsp; My questions to this group are:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Do you agree that investing in coins versus bullion is a wise choice?&nbsp; There will likely be varying opinions in regards to this and I look forward to hearing both sides!</p><p><br /></p><p>2) Based on a budget of $8,000 remaining for 2011, what would your next purchase(s) be?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanking you all in advance for your feedback!</p><p><br /></p><p>Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
