Do you think collecting new coin issues is a good investment? Why or why not?
I help collectors, estates and inheritors with coins and currency. I have made the observation many times, “The only one who makes money from proof and mint sets, including the plethora of modern commemoratives, is the U.S. Mint.” Telemarketers make the situation worse.

Yes, but not for the purchaser. At the exorbitant prices the U.S. Mint is currently charging for new coin issues in the United States it will be years –
