"Many regard their collections as investments in the same vein as antiques, fine art and wine"
MarketWatch recently noted the growing popularity of
rare coins in a Sept. 6 article titled "How to follow the money in
rare coin collecting" by David Wilkerson.
"Collecting rare coins ... isn't just for hobbyists anymore," he wrote. "About 7 million to 10 million people in the U.S. are serious
coin collectors, experts estimate, and many regard their collections as investments in the same vein as antiques, fine art and wine."
Wilkerson recommended "
U.S. coins that are perennially popular with collectors," including the
Morgan Dollar; the Indian Head Cent; the
Mercury Dime; the Barber, or Liberty Head, Half Dollar; the
$10 Indian Head Eagle; and the
$20 Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle.
He also noted that high-grade classic
gold coins from the mid-19th century to the 1930s are "currently undervalued by the market."
