<p>[QUOTE=&quot;andrew289, post: 540208, member: 6463&quot;]If you really want an investment for the grandkids, you should look into putting back a few rare key coins. Like the highest grade 3 legged buffalo or the highest grade 1917 standing liberty type 1 quarter with full head that you can afford. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In 30 years, depending on how old the grandkids are, they will really have something nice. Ofcourse you might have to buy each grandkid their own set ..lol.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Proof sets and mint set aren&#039;t really investments either. Every now and then you get a surprise like the 1999 silver proof set or even the 2008 mint set but you never know how valuable they are until the price jumps. It&#039;s all speculation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You will hear it said here many times that COINS ARE NOT AN INVESTMENT. It&#039;s a hobby. Trying to pick coins that will jump in value is like picking stocks..there are more losers than winners.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m putting back a couple rolls of presidents myself for fun. It&#039;s only a couple hundred bucks a year. I just stopped going to Starbucks and I found the extra $200 a year easy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
