<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rrholdout, post: 2899854, member: 89654&quot;]I remember reading this advice from GDJMSP a few months ago in an earlier thread. I guess it&#039;s broad enough to fit any investment. But it&#039;s still excellent advice that I often think of. If key dates/rarities are often considered the best sure thing, then with coins, just like anything else, rewards are proportional to risks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coins as an investment kind of blur the lines unlike other investments due to their range of values - history/bullion/currency/art. There&#039;s just about something there for everyone. So it&#039;s easy to get carried away with a personal bias and attachment. </p><p><br /></p><p>Another consideration is that collectors are often willing to pay more for a coin than an investor - counting on a maturation of value to pay off in the long run. The savvy investor often wants an instantly realized profit - like they say - &quot;You make money when you buy&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I break up buyers into 4 groups; Melters, Bargain-Hunters, Investors, and Collectors; in order of willing to pay the least to pay the most. I think the 2 groups in the middle do best, from an investment standpoint. Ultimately we&#039;re just hoping to move a finite # of coins up the value ladder to the most appreciative &#039;end user&#039;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
