<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 322255, member: 4626&quot;]You&#039;d be amazed how many people... even quite a few novice coin collectors... seem to think age = value.&nbsp; It is true to a degree that older coins tend to be rarer, in higher grades anyway, but it&#039;s not the age itself of course that has anything to do with the value, at least not directly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again though $2 bills have never been rare lol... though I forgive people who think this, since they just are so rarely seen in circulation.&nbsp; I always wonder why the same people who say we should get rid of the penny don&#039;t ever mention what a waste it is for the goverment to keep printing millions of $2 bills that are almost never used.&nbsp; Same with the half dollar (though I&#039;d love to see an effort to make this circulate again).</p><p><br /></p><p>Your wife paid $2 each for those halves, not $1, by my math... still an excellent deal though lol...</p><p><br /></p><p>Gold is a good investment atm... if buying coins hoping for the gold value to go up though make sure they actually contain gold lol... I don&#039;t get why anyone thinks gold colored = gold, I certaintly never hear people think all our silver colored coins contain silver.&nbsp; I&#039;d have to think those who think that are in the extreme minority...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
