Question
Hi, if I were to invest in coins which should I invest in Peace dollars or a 20th century type set? Thank you.
If you're looking to invest in coins, you will need to do a lot of research. Read whatever references are available on the series of coins your interested in. There's actually a very good book about investing in U.S. coins that's out (Expert's Guide to Collecting & Investing in Rare Coins by Q D Bowers) that you might want to see. Also, look at auction records such as eBay and Heritage to see what coins are going for in various grades. There's no simply answer to your question. It's largely up to your taste and amount you'd like to risk.

Expertise
I specialize in U.S. three-cent nickels, but also close behind them are U.S. two-cent pieces, three-cent silver, and twenty cent pieces. Also, I have a bit of experience in the area of U.S. Early Proofs (19th century). However, I can possibly assist in most questions regarding U.S. Type coins.
Experience
I have read virtually everything I can find in print on the areas of U.S. 2-3-20 cent pieces. I have written articles on three-cent coins and Early Proofs published (or will be published) in Coin World.
