That is how it is supposed to work. If you buy now at a cheap price and you buy the right thing you will make a profit when you sell in years to come.

I agree. It works in theory and most of the time in practice.

There are a few exceptions to the rule.

Because there are no guarantees and much depends upon where the gold/silver market is in the future, many collectors do not advise purchasing coins as a "investment". It's nice if you collect coins for the sake of collecting and many will increase in value as time goes on.

I do not believe that very many of the modern coins that are being produced will fall into this category since there are so many being minted. The older coins were not produced in such large numbers and, therefore, get harder and harder to find in high collector grades.
