People buying coins as an investment should avoid lower grade circulated coins, unless they're buying a popular key coin.


I would agree and I also agree that keys are the exception. It seems to me that the (lower) grade of the keys tend to increase in value the fastest. This is especially true for coins like the 22 Plain, where it's (relatively) affordable in low grades, but outrageously high in the upper grades. To boot many coins are hard to find in the "affordable", low grades. Such is the case with the 22 Plain and the 1955 DDO.

This principle is obviously limited because a lower grade cannot exceed the value of one higher. Waaaay more people can afford a VG example of a key than an MS. It opens the door to more buyers.

When I am asked this question, I always respond that the best answer is that coin collecting should be more for fun NOT as an investment.... if the collection appreciates over time, so be it...an added bonus.... no one really knows what will go up and anyone who tells you otherwise I would be very wary of.....
