Collectible Coins
Today's issue is on rare coin scams. Collecting rare coins or those minted from precious metals can be a fascinating hobby and can be a good financial investment - but only if you're knowledgeable about coins AND how fraudulent dealers operate.
If you're thinking about buying collectible coins as an investment, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer protection agency, has three words for you: research, research, research. In fact, the agency says, there isn't a potential investor around who can afford not to spend time researching the coins, the graders who assess them, and the dealers who sell them.
