| There are, however, numerous people who are strictly investors. These people treat coins just as they would a stock or other investment property, analysing them for price appreciation possibilities. |
| As with any investment medium, the best informed investors have fared the best. The follow-the-crowd and devil-may-care type of investor is at the mercy of the market and of the hundreds of "hot tips" avaiable. This latter type is apt to rub his head ruefully (or blame someone else) once he finds that he cannot really double his money overnight or turn $100 into $100 000 just by waiting a few years. |
| Our advice to investors and to would-be investors is the well known cautious "Investigate Before You Invest". The more you learn about an investment, the better prepared you are to take advantage of its possibilities. The well-informed securities market investor carefully checks the management, earnings and dividend record, competitive position, market potential, net worth and other features of any company whose stock is being considered for investment. |
| Likewise any coin investor who hopes to do well should go beyond the bare mintage figures of a particular coin (or salesman talk), and learn some of the more obscure aspects such as market potential, quantities existing in collector's and dealer's hands, etc. There are few coin investments which will not wait until one has had the time to research them thoroughly. |
| There are as many favourable investment situations in the coin market today as there ever have been in the past. The only difference is that with thousands of other investors in the field now, a bit more searching and study is needed to sniff them out. |

| History in your hand. |
| Our view is that the best investment a collector can make is in enjoying the hobby itself which will keep his mind active, interested and healthy and may well lead to a long and happy life. Buy books, borrow books, do research and learn about your hobby. |
| Ultimately we are never owners of the coins and notes we purchase - merely custodians for future generations |
| Most of All - Enjoy Yourself. |
