Coin and note investment is counter cyclical to many forms of other investment.

The only problem I have with that, is that I buy, and do not sell, because I am a coin collector, not a coin investor. I sell very few coins, In fact, there has been only two major occasions in my life where I have sold.
Rest in Peace

gm-

It was just an example. The same could be said about nickels, where they made as many in 1964 as a couple decades earlier combined, or silver coins.

The gubmint melted hundreds of millions of Morgans, and there are still plenty of commons available.

They made billions of several dates of LWC. They never will be worth big money, and if you have nice ones in your sets, why do you need 50 more of the same date?

If you spend 50 common LWC a week, that's 2500 people who may get nudged towards being coin collectors. That's a pretty small and fun way to invest in the future of the hobby.
