Liberty Silver

Buy Low and sell High

This is easier said than done. What happens is collectors and investors wait till the market is

moving up and then decide to buy at high prices.

We all like a sale but why do we not buy gold and silver coins when the price is low?

For the past 10 years coins have been on sale but not many have continued to buy rare coins to

add to their portfolios.

Now that gold and silver prices are at higher levels and we see and hear about it on the news

and financial shows, we wonder if we should be buying.

Yes and no... Yes we should be buying and no we should not be buying.

A contradiction...yes.

Buy because we want to add to our investments and collections.

Don't just buy because the price is rising and we may make a profit.

What do we buy?

The most collected coins in the USA are: in silver:

Copper pennies, all Barber coins, Buffalo nickels, and the new nickel series, Mercury dimes, the

New Quarters, All silver quarters, Silver Half Dollars, Walking Liberties and Franklins.

Kennedy Half Dollars and Morgan and Peace Silver Dollars.

Collected in gold.

St. Gaudens double eagle... $20.00 gold coin

All gold Indian coins

Liberty gold coins. All denominations.

Gold Pandas. This is a bullion coin but carries a collector premium.

All the above gold coins trade at a premium to the gold price.

What makes a coin valuable?

The main thing that makes a coin valuable is supply and demand.

Lots of demand for a coin increases the price. It does not make it rare.

There can be low demand for a coin but it will have a high price. This can

Happen for reasons such as, low quantity of coins. Low silver or gold prices.

High value rarities trade on their own merits. They are wanted by very wealthy

Individuals and will command very high prices.

TV and internet auctions can also cause price levels to rise.

Many low priced coins trade at or near the metals value. So if the metal price is rising so

will the coins of this type.

As more rare coin collectors try to get a coin the value can also rise in price.

Most often the rare coin collector who collected for enjoyment ended up with a valuable collection

of coins.

The profit was secondary to profit.

Should you collect your rare coins for fun and enjoyment you may find you have a profit when you go

to sell your rare coin collection.

Rare gold and silver coins are a long term investment.. About 5 to 20 years is best for profit.

Silver and gold bullion can be purchased in coin or bar form. By buying low and selling high one can

make a good profit

However you will find your best profits come from buying nice silver and gold rare coins.

Learn about the coins you plan to collect. This will give you an advantage and know when you see a good buy.

It is always best to buy the coin and not the plastic holder.

Keep your collecting fun and the profits will come.

One last thing, collectors should buy coins that grade fine to About uncalculated (AU)

Investors will normally stick with graded or slabbed coins.

This is ok but a collector can play in both areas and with knowledge can gain an advantage over the investor.

The Attack on the Liberty $12.99 The definitive account of the infamous 1967 attack on the USS Liberty by Israeli forces and the continuing controversy over what really happened. • Notorious incident: In 1967, Israeli fighter jets and torpedo boats attacked the spy ship uSS Liberty in international waters during the Six-Day War. Thirty-four sailors were killed and more than 170 wounded, many critically injured. Israel claimed mistaken identity, which a U.S. naval court of inquiry confirmed, but that explanation is contradicted by the facts of the case. • Based on new revelations: James Scott has interviewed Liberty survivors, senior u.S. political and intelligence officials, and examined newly declassified documents in Israel and the united States to write this comprehensive, dramatic account. He reveals that officers in Israel’s chain of command were aware of the Liberty’s identity and shows how events in Vietnam prompted the American government to deemphasize the attack despite widespread disbelief of Israel’s story. • Journalist and son of an attack survivor: Scott’s father, John, was an officer and engineer aboard the Liberty who was awarded the Silver Star for helping to save the ship from sinking.
