<p>[QUOTE=&quot;miedbe7, post: 2059208, member: 33919&quot;]If I had to pick a series that I think has potential I&#039;d go with Eisenhower Dollars.&nbsp; Not run of the mill BU album fillers but high grade, gem specimens.&nbsp; A complete gem collection can still be obtained with mint sets, excluding the first two years, which can still be bought raw for barely more than a pittance.&nbsp; I know there is no intrinsic value, aside from the BU/Proof 40% silvers.&nbsp; But if people start taking notice of the series, you&#039;ll have something special. If not, well you&#039;re not out an insane amount as could be the case if you plop down a bundle of money on something that can evaporate with any gold/silver price collapse (not that I&#039;d bet on that happening).</p><p><br /></p><p>If gold is your thing, maybe take a look at high-grade MS, or possibly proof, gold dollars of all three types.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, if you&#039;re keen on the silver dollar, look at Seated dollars that are problem-free VF-AU examples.&nbsp; Collectors in general still don&#039;t appreciate how few of these remain from their original mintage.&nbsp; These are a nice alternative to the go-to Morgan/Peace dollars and the sometimes prohibitively expensive Bust Dollars (excluding low grade examples).</p><p><br /></p><p>And FYI, I don&#039;t think coins can&#039;t appreciate in value.&nbsp; It&#039;s just never a good primary reason to buy them IMHO.&nbsp; I replied the way I did in hopes that someone flush with cash doesn&#039;t take the first few replies on an internet forum as good investment advice.&nbsp; One would more than likely regret the decision only months out when seeking a return, as if it were a common investment vehicle, and find that fair market offers from another collector might be ~80% and a dealer ~60% of what was originally paid.&nbsp; And that&#039;s if you have really good stuff, not normal dreck found in a lot of collections assembled through impulsive purchases and questionable venues.&nbsp; It&#039;s a good thing though you asked here first!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck with your collecting/investing <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
