If you want a coin that has a potential of gaining 15-30% you need some ingredients. Historical significance, rarity, and popularity. Some of the best performing sectors are the California gold rush, Civil War era, and Comstock load. go with any high dollar Morgans, CC's, O-mints. any Type1 20's. the 1854s. is a key example of this. MS60 in 2000= $3100... MS60 today = $26,000. Stay away from high mintage, low popularity... and especially coins that are expensive, mostly moderns in this case... where some collector might have bought a couple hundred pieces from the mint and is holding them for 30yrs.... the 1907 HR St. Gaudens are a prime example.. .supposedly there are a couple people out there with a handful of MS examples never graded... that might lower those values if they ever throw them onto the market. True rarity, only gets more rare and more historical as time goes on... as investors/collectors take off the market what is left... we are left with the most basic supply/demand scenario... and thats what pays out![/QUOTE]
