[QUOTE="sylvester, post: 60111, member: 708"]Good luck with that. I know a dealer that sells BU 1966 Threepences for 20p a piece. You bought them at a good price but you'll never be able to get rid of them all and the value on them will never go up. You say, well they might be worth 40p each in a decade on the market, yeah but how much will 40p buy you then that 10p buys you now? So you'll probably get your money back. A profit though? Doubtful. If you want to invest then base metal is not the way to go. Save your money and buy a 1934 UK Crown the price on those will go up. How do i know this? Well there's 932 of them in existence and i know of one collector that is buying up every example he can find, he hopes to get 100 of them. I think the market is gonna notice that one. The prices have been going up recently. If i sold off all my coins i could probably just about afford one, but i wouldn't want to, why? because i collect for history and not for profits. That and i think the coin is a pretty dull and boring design all round. So there you go.[/QUOTE]
