If I had the money it would maybe be a complete of double eagles, complete with the smaller dollars ($10, $5, $2.5).
Or the 1915 $50 octagonal gold coin. Drool.

Most of the coins I have bought for long term investment are spot silver coins. I consider my other coins a hobby :)

My guess is any numismatic coin is going to increase in value over time. But any particular ones increasing more than others is way out of my expertise.

Though I dont, I'd go w/1/2c also.

I've been buying ASEs to save for a future rainy day. I am banking on silver being more valuable in 15-20 years so I am buying it now. I was given some advice by an investor that, as long as silver is less than $50.00 an ounce, you should buy it as often as you can. I've been trying to do that as my budget allows.

As a general rule nice problem free key dates have the best potential to appreciate. The harder something is to find the better change the price will increase over time

Talk a bout a bubble Key date. I dont pay a lot of attention to lincolns so I may have missed a huge price jump but I'm not sure Id call that one a bubble key date. Its by far the lowest mintage of Lincolns which are extremely popular and they certainly didnt all survive. Even the 1909 s has more than 3 times the mintage and the 1914 D has more than twice the mintage. They may not be the typical extremely hard to find coin but they remind me a lot of the 2001 buffalo commemorative. If youre willing to pay you can find them, but if you want one youre going to have to pay for it. |

Silver pandas.
In MS70, you could probably make a lot of money - if the current slab craze keeps going. Otherwise, just pick problem-free examples and hang onto them.

Go old, original, and problem free and you will not only have an investment, but an enjoyable piece of history. The only issue is learning how to spot original and problem free. Read, watch, ask questions, read some more, then buy. Mistakes cost money!
