<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jester3681, post: 1796186, member: 53130&quot;]It&#039;s hard to say into the future.&nbsp; From what I&#039;ve seen, the highest return has been in limited edition coins with low mintages.&nbsp; But I can&#039;t say for sure that that trend will hold up - modern coins and bullion are hard to protect.&nbsp; Some stuff is relatively cheap from the mint, then shortly after the mint sells out, the price goes up a fair bit.&nbsp; Once the rush dies down, the price settles down.&nbsp; Non-numismatic coins see this a bit too - the Silver Bullet, Silver Shield stuff went threw the roof when they stopped producing it - everyone scrambled to get their hands on it.&nbsp; Now the prices have come down to better levels.&nbsp; The same thing seems to happen with the ASEs when they release a new version, although some, such as the &#039;06 Reverse Proof, seem to have held value well in top grades.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>After all of that, here&#039;s my recommendation.&nbsp; 2013 is more or less over as far as mints are concerned.&nbsp; You may still find some good stuff, but you may consider 2014 mintages.&nbsp; Look for truly low mintage coins (ideally &lt;5k, and the most &lt;10k.).&nbsp; Buy what you can afford.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That said as well, the general consensus is that silver is low right now, and will recover, likely to the high $20 - low $30 range again.&nbsp; You may be best to just buy as much generic silver as you can for $300 and sit on it.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I hate to be a buzzkill too, but in the $300 range, you&#039;re not likely to find an investment coin that will do much more than match spot and inflation.&nbsp; Heirloom quality coins that are considered to be investment grade are in the thousands of dollars.&nbsp; I collect coins because I like them, I collect silver because it&#039;s nice to have a tangible asset that has value other than the fact the government says it does.&nbsp; I collect silver coins to kill both birds.&nbsp; I don&#039;t collect either because I intend to make money on them - one has to have a hobby, this is mine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
