[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1350827, member: 112"]There are literally dozens if not hundreds of numismatic newsletters published by dealers all over the country on either a weekly or monthly basis. The supposed purpose of these newsletters is to advise collectors, and other dealers, on what they should buy. And what they should be selling. Those newsletters would seem to be the answer to what you call - [I]"[/I][LEFT][COLOR=#000000][I]up to date information on coins with investment potential."[/I] [/COLOR][/LEFT]Of course the problem with these newsletters is you never know when the person or persons writing them has an agenda. Example - suppose the author of the newsletter is planning a large promotion on certain gold coins in upcoming months. So well in advance of that upcoming promotion he states in his newsletters that those gold coins would be a good buy. Some subscribers to that newsletter listen and begin buying these gold coins. That drives prices up. So when the time arrives for his promotion that dealer is able to capitalize on the price increases and he reaps substantial profits. So what you are talking about is out there, has been out there for decades. The problem is - should you pay any attention to it ?[/QUOTE]
