Can You Spare An Opinion On These 2 New Sets Of Coins Please

Thanks for the feedback Bacchus. But there are certainly coins that appreciate in value quickly and many people have made money with buting and selling newly minted coins. You mentioned just one series that did very well and I have seen it with a variety of others.

So the question boils down to what attributes make a newly minted coin or set of coins popular. Because popular coins spur the demand which drives the appreciation.

Can you add to this list of attributes which would likely spur demand?

1) Aesthetic appeal of coin and accompanying presentation (box, COA, etc)
2) Quality of minting
3) Mintage number


Thanks for any additions to the expandable list or insights.

$250 an ounce for silver seems a bit excessive. I think the world coin market is flooded with commems put out by third party mints in the name of whatever country is the flavor of the month. I think that it has caused a lot of fatigue in the market. Some of these coins do see a price increase, but the vast majority probably won't show a return in investment any time soon. If you do want to gamble like this, I would only purchase coins from recognized mints. I would also look for something that is part of an established series. Finally I would look for pricing that is as close to melt value as possible.

If I had money that I wanted to invest in coins right now, I would probably put that money toward older, precious metal coins from nations with an emerging consumer base. For instance Russian coins have been hot for the last few years.
