<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 3726062, member: 97383&quot;]<b>CT</b> members who have seen some of my older threads posted on this website can probably guess I would choose the Kushan gold coin over the 1945-D Jefferson nickel pictured in this thread as an investment <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. My track record for U.S. coin investments is anything but successful <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I haven&#039;t bought many U.S. coins in the $20,000.00 range, but the coin pictured below is a good example. After enjoying the coin for a long time I put it up for auction with Heritage &amp; lost $2,000.00 selling it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]998928[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]998929[/ATTACH] </p><p>I still have about 30 U.S. in my collection that I admire for their artistry or historical interest but have no hope of making a profit when selling them <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie88" alt=":sour:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. It takes a certain amount of luck to to make a successful investment in modern U.S. coins, but it can be done. Recently Heritage auctioned a 1975 no S proof dime for the astonishing price of $456,000.00 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie57" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />! See photo below. There are only 2 known examples of this coin.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]998930[/ATTACH] </p><p>The buyer of this coin resold it by private treaty six days later for $506,000.00 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. The other known example of this coin was purchased by a Ohio collector, still in its proof set packaging for $18,000.00 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. See photo below. Now that&#039;s what I call successful investing <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]998931[/ATTACH] </p><p>For the most part I&#039;ve done very well investing in ancient coins &amp; find them more artistic, interesting, &amp; rewarding than modern U.S. coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
