I always appreciate courteous people, such as yourself. </i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Very few coins period are good investments!&nbsp; If we get our emotions out of the way there ain&#039;t many coins that are good investments for the <b>average coin collector.</b></p><p>Let me explain - unless you are a fairly large dealer or buy monster type coins well into the 6 figure range coin collection at best is a fair investment - there are many better investments but factor in the pleasure, history, knowledge a body can get out of it, now that&#039;s a good investment!</p><p>Yes, on here I have explained as a variety specialist how I have bought many coins for say $10 and sold for $1000 but that is not the norm.&nbsp; If you factor in my time, the 1000&#039;s of rolls and mint sets I have searched and paid premiums for, the books, magazines, supplies, etc. I probably make about $5 an hour at best.</p><p>With that said if anybody wants it I believe I can tell just about anyone how to make some money in coin collecting.&nbsp; Here it is:</p><p>Buy key date rare coins in solid VF-30 without any problems and hold them 7 years then find an outlet to get those same coins in front of serious coin collectors who need the key dates for sets.&nbsp; Do that and you will make some money, how much I don&#039;t know.&nbsp; Now you may ask &quot;am I doing this&quot;?</p><p>The answer is sometimes but that&#039;s not what I want to do - I want to find doublED dies because of the thrill of the search and the satisfaction of becoming an expert - that&#039;s not an investment, that&#039;s living and enjoying my life.&nbsp; You got to decide in life what you want sooner of later and be honest about it and in so doing coin collecting is not a great investment but it is a blast![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
