<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eduard, post: 564369, member: 8959&quot;]I appreciate that this is a question which is difficult to answer. I collect many different types of coins ranging from Roman, German, U.S coinage and South American Colonial.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>By far the biggest value-appreciation, however, has been with my U.S coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>22+ years ago i decided to follow the advice given back then by Q. David Bowers, the deasn of U.S Numismatics: concentrate on the keys. That is what i did. And here i agree with Clembo. A rare or semi rare coin will always remain rare, and be more desirable.&nbsp; </p><p>I bought the keys whenever my budget allowed it, often by-passing for example an 1805 Quarter in E.F, for an 1804 (the key to the series) in only VG.&nbsp; I then put my U.S collection aside for 15 years. I could not beleieve when i came back to U.S coin collecting! The values for the keys had increased significantly more that the type coins.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know if this still holds true today, but there is was basic wisdom in what QDB was saying: collect what is rare and desirable. In the long run, and here the key is long run, you can make few (or less) mistakes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Eduard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
