Message:: [QUOTE="johnny54321, post: 900114, member: 13342"]I know "coincrazed" in CCF. He is very young, and it shows. I saw his desire to purchase a 16-d more as an opportunity to own a tough valuable coin as a collectors item at an age where most folks are spending their money on video games and gumballs. Forget about the investment rammifications for a second. How many of us hardcore collectors are concerned about investing anyways..It's about passion. As a young, upcoming collector, a coin like that from his favorite series I think would bring a lot of joy and pride in that accomplishment. I still think a G-4 1916-d is a great choice if he has saved enough money for one(certified and nice for the grade of course). Of course it would be better to get a higher grade, but not everyone has the means. It will certainly maintain a lot of resail value as well if he ever needed that money back.   If you have the money saved up, I would certainly recommend the 16-d over all of these. Tom is correct that all of these are easy to find cheap anywhere, and they will always remain that way. The 16-d is special, and you may not always have the means to afford one.[/QUOTE]
