<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tradernick, post: 5579, member: 648&quot;]Sometimes it&#039;s hard not to blur the line between collecting and investing.&nbsp; We all want our coins to rise in value.&nbsp; But the simple fact is they don&#039;t always cooperate.&nbsp; Some go up, some go down, some do nothing.&nbsp; A key point to remember is that in most cases your profit is made when you buy...not when you sell.&nbsp; If you have a good grip on coin values and a good eye to spot cleaning or other damage, chances are you&#039;ll do well.&nbsp; </p><p>There are some savvy investors who purchase things from me, but they&#039;re mostly speculating in gold and silver, or perhaps just buying some as a hedge against their stock market holdings.&nbsp; Typically an investor will purchase gold bullion like Eagles, Maples, Krugerrands, etc.&nbsp; Also silver bars by Englehard, JM, etc.&nbsp; Some of them like common date gold $20&#039;s because they have two possible upsides...bullion value AND potential future numismatic value.&nbsp; But these people all have one thing in common.&nbsp; They don&#039;t give a hoot about filling a folder with any kind of coins by date.&nbsp; They are not collectors.&nbsp; They buy solely with the idea of turning a profit in the future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
