<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rono, post: 300729, member: 6492&quot;]Howdy,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Had to chime in.&nbsp; I think you can make money investing in coins, but there are many considerations.&nbsp; From what I&#039;ve read, the greatest investment potential is with high end, certified keys and semi-keys.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Travers talks a bit about Peace dollars in his books and like the very high end certified ones MS-65, 66, 67, but dogs the generics and in lesser grades.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bowers new book The Expert&#039;s Guide is good and a new book The Investor&#039;s Guide to US Coins is great.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It seems the general consensus is that you need to go with highend, certified coins in either key dates or semikey to really stand a chance of making any money.&nbsp; And as the others have pointed out, you&#039;re handicapped with the vigorish (buy/sell premium) that can be 20-30%.&nbsp; That&#039;s a hell of a sales load to overcome.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you want to play the precious metals market, you need to minimize your transaction costs by seeking the bullion coins with the least premium.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>just some thoughts,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>rono[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
