[QUOTE="Pocket Change, post: 247340, member: 8012"]I'm all for searching Pocket Change!!! I'm not sure about the investment angle though. Let's zoom back 40 years. It's 1967, there is no official mint set this year. My latest Coin Values magazine lists the following values for 1967 MS-60 coins: 1 Cent --> 10 cents 5 Cent --> 20 cents 10 Cents --> 25 cents 25 Cents --> 60 cents (I will ignore the Kennedy half because silver prices cloudy those waters...) If you had one of each (41 cents worth), the "catalog" value would be $1.15 after 40 years. And we know that you won't get catalog value. So 40 years to just barely double your money. Doesn't look good. Also, we're in a red-hot coin market right now - if it's metal and it's round, it will sell. There are just so darned many circulating coins made that I find it hard to believe any of us will see any kind of upside in our lifetimes - there are a whole lot better ways to make money.[/QUOTE]
