Question
I have started a collection of pcgs P+D state quarters. Do you think they will be a good investment long term?  

Answer
Hi David,
Tough question.  The reason I say this is that if you are paying too much for them now, you may never profit from them.  The key to profitable coin collecting is research!  BUY the best coins you can for the best price.  The internet allows you that option, there are many auction sites and dealer inventories available to peruse.  Don't believe the hype a dealer or website may print, verify what you are told and read.
