<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CentDime, post: 196633, member: 7297&quot;]I kind of have to disagree with a little of what was said so far. I don&#039;t think the test should be if you are able to sell today for the same price you paid as being a gauge on if it has great invesment potential. Many coins take off in later years and those that bought them when they were cheap were the ones to see the real appreciation down the road. But the question might be will the proof coins you are collecting today be in that category?</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as the difference as to why some coins are worth more than others that seem to be the same, well that is a study all by itself. You can look at many different sets of the same type of coin and often the coin with the lowest mintage is the one that will cost you the most [but not always]. There is also a conditional rarity and other factors.</p><p><br /></p><p>But i have to say if you plan to hold your coins for many years I like what you are doing, but would suggest you do buy the more expensive coins and not go for quantity. There are many coins that by themsleves would be as valuable or more than all of the ones you have bought to date.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is easier as others have said to sell one coin than many, so as a starter I would say go for higher priced coins and stick to graded ones like you are until you become an expert at grading.</p><p><br /></p><p>You are also better off getting rare coins over common ones. It takes less demand to raise the price of a rare coin, so those have the best chance of appreciating generally.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
