   Coin and stamp collecting only pays off for the companies selling you the stuff with the myth that you can make lots of money. While a famous pair of brothers (I think it was the Hunt Brothers) bought lots of silver in the 1970s, I don’t think you’re going to get rich and famous from buying silver. Consider purchasing a precious metals mutual fund or ETF through your favorite brokerage. That is much more liquid than a bag of coins.

   You’re probably betting on the appreciation of precious metals prices and not the price of the coins. Unless you want to become a coin expert, just buy the bulk metals.

   I would never buy an expensive coin on eBay unless it was certified. The link has historical coin values for many of the rarer US coins. I hope that helps.
