<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 4652479, member: 26302&quot;]I would say collecting coins is the worst investment decision you can make VERSUS REAL INVESTMENTS. That is because collectible coins is NOT an investment, its a collectible. Versus other collectible fields, coins I would say are middle of the market, I would say areas of art might be better and man others like postcards worst. </p><p><br /></p><p>Even if the market was flat or up, its hard to profit on rare coins. Even ignoring dealers, if you do all your business at auctions you pay a 20% premium both buying and selling. 40% is a MASSIVE headwind to overcome. Most never will. </p><p><br /></p><p>Collect coins for what they teach you about geography, history, art, and economics, as well as great comraderie. Its a fantastic hobby, but its a hobby not a good investment vehicle.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
