<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 786017, member: 15309"]I would think that key dates will always out perform other coins because they have demand from outside the series. For example, everyone wants a 1916-D Mercury Dime, only Mercury Dime & type collectors want an 1916 Mercury Dime. With regards to the top (cream of the crop) coins reaping the benefits, I think it is perfectly normal that the highest quality coins command the highest prices. I don't think any coins are really good investments which is to say that if you are looking to maximize return on your money, you shouldn't have your money in coins. However, I do not share the opinion of some that coins are a terrible investment that are destined to lose money. A savvy collector with <b>good grading skills</b> who focuses on <b>collecting eye appealing coins</b> and has a <b>commitment to continuing numismatic education</b> and <b>patience</b> can make money when they sell their collection. I only have the first three and expect to lose money when I sell.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
