<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 4653346, member: 78244&quot;]I was talking with a dealer on Monday, while he was chatting with another customer about coins as an investment vehicle. He talked about a collector who had a $3 million collection. Many of the coins were in the mid-5-figure range. He’s also a savvy investor. One day he decided to offload his entire collection and bought a bunch of common double eagles, and he held onto them. They were worth $500 each at the time. </p><p><br /></p><p>Several of the coins he sold are now worth 25-50% less of what he sold them for, while his double eagles are sitting high and mighty at $1900 each.</p><p><br /></p><p>Collectible coins are not a dependable investment vehicle, especially high-grade post-1850 coins. Their values took a massive hit after 2008 and have been steadily deflating. Investment-grade collectible coins are those that had fewer than 1000 made or are similar to what was in the Pogue collection. Very little else beats inflation, if it gains at all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
