<p>[QUOTE="tommybee, post: 927152, member: 24999"]I am an investor/collector as to coins. If a coin has a low mintage, or is a conditional rarity and is in my price range, I'll buy it as an investment. Most coin series, even those with huge mintages, have a few key or semi-key dates, or at least one or two conditional rarities. I'm not one who collects all the coins in a series. I usually collect one or two gem quality coins and any higher end rarities I come across. For example, I love peace dollars. I have common ones in MS-65 (1922 -1925) and some nice lower MS examples of lower mintages (1928, 1927-s, 1934). I also have a few AU-55 to AU-58 examples of the 1934 - s, which I can't afford in MS. </p><p> </p><p>I collect silver bullion as an inflation hedge.
