Question
Hi, do you think it is better to collect Peace dollars or a 20th century type set?
Thank you.
Emil, there are collectors and there are investors. Collectors are participating in a hobby and doing what they enjoy. Because you used the word, "collect," my answer is that it is wholly up to you. If you would enjoy collecting Peace dollars more than a 20th century type set, that's what you should do. Or vice versa. I am not an investor (and also not psychic) and so couldn't tell you which of the two is likely to be the better investment. Good luck, whatever you decide to do, Jim Lawniczak
