Now onto some coin collecting advantages and benefits. Investing in the rare collectible coin market is one of the best decisions you can make. Here’s a list of 5 reasons why.
1. They can be sold quickly without losing much value
Also called liquidity, rare coins hold their value so well, and are in such demand that if you should ever need to sell quickly you can. And you can expect to always receive top dollar. The Coin Dealer Newsletter publishes weekly pricing information for all important U.S. coins. No other collectible has a pricing structure so closely tracked. And several times a month there are coin shows where you can buy and sell coins. So you can see, when it comes time to sell, you can expect to receive your money quickly.
2. Decreasing supply of rare coins 
This is an important advantage, because as you know they aren’t making any more Morgan silver dollars, or Buffalo nickels, or Walking Liberty halves. And the supply is always diminishing due to neglect, abuse, or meltings. This is somewhat different than other investments, for example when Wall Street needs more stocks, they just issue them.
So any increase in demand makes prices rise, and there’s no way to begin making “rare” coins, hence the value. So a limited supply eliminates the downside risk. In the rare coin market, lower prices tend to drive coins off the market.
3. They can be easily obtained
In a word, they’re affordable. Fine paintings can go for millions of dollars, but it’s rare for a coin to cost more than a hundred grand. Homes, jewelry can cost millions for a single purchase. There’s a lot of very valuable coins to be had for anywhere from $100 to about $10,000. So a great coin collecting advantage is anyone can jump into this market.
4. Send the tax man packing
Among the coin collecting advantages spoken of here, this one is seldom mentioned. But most people are unaware that you pay no taxes on your coin collection until they are sold. You can have a valuable collection worth $50,000, and borrow off it at the bank, and write of the interest you pay on that loan.
5. The government has no business here
If you’re like me, you see the government sticking their nose more and more where it doesn’t belong. As the government gets bigger and stronger, the public is finding itself get weaker, with less control. Here is one area where you won’t have to go through any bureaucratic red tape non-sense. There’s no forms to fill out. It all remains a private affair.
