[QUOTE="kanga, post: 426881, member: 9270"]IMO, the keys and semi-keys, particularly of the popular sets, will go up the most both in absolute value and percentage value. [B]BUT[/B] if those coins tank, then the hobby as a whole will go with them. I'm talking Lincolns, Buffaloes, Mercs, WL halves, Morgans, Peace, etc. You know the sets. Top end 19th century will get the bucks too. Problem is, many of us can't afford those coins. Go with the thought, "The best I can afford", even if you have to stretch a bit. I see all the modern stuff, (state quarters, pres dollars, etc.) that people paid big money for to get the top grades, will cause a LOT of people grief when they go to sell. Collect them for fun, not for profit. I think an XF or better type set (1964 and before) is a good combination of collecting fun and investment potential. A 1940-something Merc in MS-65 FB may not have the value of a 1916-D, but it still looks the same and is a heck of a lot cheaper.[/QUOTE]
