Hi, if you plan to use coin collecting as an investment instead of the crazy up and down stock market, then stick to KEY dates and buy the highest grades that you can afford. A Victorian quarter, 1891, AU-50 with a C.C.N. trend value of $1,500.00 Can.$ will certainly gain in value versus a VG-8. This being the # of known and available AU-50 are far less than the VG-8's, therefore commanding a higher premium.
Plus you can enjoy your coins a lot more than you would an R.R.S.P.
