Rare Coin Investments Vs. the Stock Market

There are many reasons why rare coins are better then stocks. But, I have found and pinpointed the top two reasons why rare coins are better. I feel that investing is useless if there is no potential in the investment. But many investments that have potential are usually riskier then other investments. So, even if an investment had potential, it may not be worth it if it was too volatile. This is where rare coin investments steps into the picture.

The first reason why coins are better then stocks is because of stability. There are many investment vehicles out there that can yield some hefty returns. But with all investments, the investor/investment manager has to weed out all the bad investments. They have to cut off as much risk as possible. If we look at coins, we can see that it is a very stable investment. Coins are not as volatile as stocks. It doesn't go up and down by the minute. Its' movements are a lot slower then stocks, but their movements are very predictable. The predictability is what makes it more stable. Because we know when it goes up and down, we can make confident decisions without risk or heavy losses. I don't think we can find any other investment that is more stable then coins.

There is an inverse relationship between risk and returns. The returns tend to be lower when you cut off the risks. Some of the safest investments aren't really worth it anymore because of their low returns. To counter this, investors usually diversify their portfolios. This allows them to cut off risk while improving their returns. But, with stocks, you have to buy enough of each stock to profit. And, you have to buy a lot of many different stocks to diversify. This is extremely costly and messy. With coins, you can buy just about any investment coin you like. You can easily diversify your portfolio by buying a different coin specimen each time you buy a coin. Your returns are never cut short, and you never lay too many eggs in one basket.

The second reason why coins are better then stocks is potential. The right coin never stops going up in value. This has been proven (so far) in historical coin reports. It's not like stocks where they can stop going up in value. And then the company has to split their stocks so that it can continually go up in value. But, if the CEO doesn't know when to do this, or does this at the wrong time, the stock may never make anymore sizeable gains. Furthermore, regardless if the stock splits or not, it doesn't mean that the stock will continually rise in value. The stock can easily go down in value because of bad or false news. And after this, the stock may take forever to recover. Or worse yet, it may never recover at all. Coins on the other hand, can never lose their value because of bad news. Their performance depends mainly on supply and demand. And with the ever diminishing supply, some coins never see a down turn because of weakened demand. At the very most, they might stay stagnant for a short period of time. They will continue to rise again after demand strengthens.

The unique characteristics of rare coins makes it the perfect investment. Furthermore, I don't think there is any other investment that can be diversified any further then coins. You could buy one example of each investment coin and never run out of coins to buy. It's ultra safe, it yields extremely high returns, and its' diversification easiness makes it an investor's dream. If you have not looked into coins before, now is the time to do so.

Why Coin Collection Will be a Good Investment?

I give you some examples from the coin market.

1) Last month the price of 5 Rs Tilak steel coin was sold at 100 Rs. But now it is selling for 150 Rs due to the scarcity of the coin. See the 50% jump in the price.

2) 5 Rs Cross symbol (2007 year) coin was sold for 50 Rs last year. Twelve months later, now the same coin is available for 600-700 Rs. If one bought atleast 10 coins last year for the total of 500 Rs, now will get 7000 Rs. See you may get upto 1400% profit within one year. Even bullish stock market also may not give that much of profit.

3) 1954 - One Rupee coin was sold for 120 Rs last year. Now it is available for 700-900 Rs.

4) Nethaji two rupee coin of 1996 sold for 1000 Rs before 3 months. But now available for 3000 Rs. Here the profit is 200% within 3 months. You can't imagine such a profit in any other investment avenue.

Due to the above examples, I am insisting that coin collection is not just a hobby. It will give you handsome of money in future.
