The piece of history to hold in youh and is worth more that the investment value anyways. Richard Richard Report this Post to the Staff

They seem to have a pretty good track record for gains. Report this Post to the Staff

I collect key date coins and some gold coins, but I do it as a hobby, not as an investment. If they do make money in the end, then it's just icing on the cake.

Spider5689 Pillar of the Community United States 2269 Posts	Posted 01/05/2008 11:38 pm Its hit or miss with modern commemoratives and most of the time its miss. I have bought and sold modern commemoratives, and I have yet to make a substantial profit. I usually buy them, then get bored and sell them so I can buy another one. Lately I only buy what I want to keep. With the high mintages, there is little money to make on these, unless you were lucky enough to buy a few of the low mintage dollars.
