Title: Which of the following would you say is a fairly safe long term investment?
Post by: AnkurJ on May 25, 2011, 10:30:09 PM

I am looking to invest a decent amout of cash into a coin I LOVE, and hope that it will at least maintain its value over the next, say 20 years. For me, CAC is a must as there are too many tampered with coins out there, or coins that should not be in holders.
Here is what I am considering

A choice VF Chain Cent with NO porosity of any kind
A PF63 Matte Proof $10 Indian
A $10 Turban Head in XF to AU

Which in your opinion would be the safest bet?

Have you done a background history check on each one and their performance?
If you want one to strictly invest in I would search the historic sales and then decide.

Otherwise choose one you like best.


If it was me and I wanted one ONLY for investment I would search sales history and make my decision.
But that's me :)

That is a most esoteric list, of rather rare coins. I am not familiar with such coins, but the prior
post seems to make sense. While my general instinct would be to say that you probably would not
go wrong with any of the choices, a lot depends on supply and demand, to see where the best profit lies.
