<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dave92029, post: 1298581, member: 26916&quot;]My personal experience confirms this. I purchased many 1984 olympic coins. The Gold coins came in beautiful wood boxes and I was sure that these would be worth a bundle in 25 years. I took them out of a duffle bag where they had been for the last 25 years and checked their value. To my surprise, I was only able to get the spot value these &quot;treasures&quot;. When I researched what I had paid and the premiums charged by the Mint, it became apparent that the US Mint are very good business people. They made a lot more money than I did, especially when figuring present value of money.</p><p><br /></p><p>This was a learning experience that taught me to collect American Eagle bullion. The premium is reasonable and PM&#039;s are appreciating much faster then numismatic coins. The only Numismatic coins that are good investments are the Key Dates. </p><p><br /></p><p>I purchase Numismatic coins for fun rather then with an expectation of profit. the Liberty First Spouse coins are an example. I find these coins attractive but I would have made a lot more money (paper profit) if I would have put that same amount of money in some tubes of ASE.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
