What makes a coin valuable?
Many factors affect a coin s value. Mintage, precious metal content and condition all play a role in a coin s price. Investors should take into account all these factors when choosing coins for their portfolio. Another important tool is the population reports that both PCGS and NGC publish. This will tell you how many of a particular coin have been graded. Coins that have a high number of coins graded may not give you as great a return as a coin with a lower population.
