<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1146312, member: 66&quot;]OK in my opinion coins are usually a lousy investment, but a great hobby.&nbsp; If you collect with a discerning eye, over the long term you have a good chance of your collection growing in value at a rate sufficient to keep up with inflation.&nbsp; But probably not at a rate to be considered a good investment.&nbsp; If you are just interested in monitary return rates you would actually probably do better with speculating and flipping than with collecting.&nbsp; The problem is to get your product early and flip it while the prices are still high.&nbsp; If you get it too late you miss the peak and may even be stuck with a loss.&nbsp; A ggod example being the recent ATB hockey pucks.&nbsp; If you were able to be one of the first to get them you could buy them at $900 and immediately flip them for $3000 - $4000.&nbsp; Now they are something like $975 from the distributors and the flip price is down to around $1300 and dropping.&nbsp; At this rate soon they won&#039;t be worth fooling with.&nbsp; And of course sometimes the price never does go up on the secondary market and you may find yourself holding a bunch of &quot;stuff&quot; with no aftermarket.&nbsp; Do that a couple of time and you will wipe out all your gains from the good flips.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
