Investments

They are all good. I guess it depends on what you have a liking for. Afterall, money aside, you should have a passion for a certain field. If it's pure investment, then they all, going from past results, have increased in value over time. Maybe do some research yourself, buy some old price guides on coins and notes, check out the auctions to see what you should be paying.

Two ways to go on this, before deciding:

1. Collect anything that interests you now, until you find your interests naturally develop into a direction that you feel is right for you. Later on, sell those items that no longer interest you, and convert the money into those things that do interest you.
2. Do lots of reading first, before you feel that one of the areas you have noted becomes right for you.

Parts of my collection have developed as as result of BOTH of these approaches.

As a newbie start with the cheap stuff, that way if you make a mistake or buy something you end up not liking you haven't lost that much money.

newbie's may just like to have fun with noodling coins that you find in your change.

Find out what you like about coins, before spending big money on them.
Everyone can tell you that what you start collecting, and what you will be collecting years later are two very different things.

I started with collecting circulated coins like the picture 50c and 20c coins, but defiantly went in the direction of pre-decimal coins and stuck with threepences.
On the odd occasion I might find a silver coin that I like, I ended up buying bush baby coins from the Perth Mint.

If you ever unsure you can always just ask a question on the site, there are heaps of people here to help

That is sage advice

I think most people here would agree that we collect for pleasure and any investment gains we make are just the icing on the cake. I justify the money I spend on cones and notes as being an investment. The truth is that it is only an investment if I sell.....and I have no intention of doing that.

Any investment is a long term investment. There are significant costs involved in buying and selling coins. There are also costs in keeping coins when you consider security systems.

Gold and Silver are safe but you are at the mercy of the markets. For coins and notes you really need to get the highest grade you can possibly get.

My advice though would be to start as a hobby and accumulate knowledge.

Thats Funny
