<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 3724260, member: 97383"]I'm proposing a hypothetical question in this thread. If given a choice between the ancient Kushan gold coin and the American Jefferson nickel dated 1945-D, pictured below, which coin do you feel would make a better investment ? </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]998436[/ATTACH] </p><p>India, Kushan Empire.

There's no doubt in my mind which coin would make a better investment. What do you think ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
