"Coins Market Increasing By 10% Per Year"

I have mentioned coin collecting before (Saturday 19th November 2011), so I couldn’t help but notice when a short article appeared in the Sun newspaper today (Tuesday 17^th January 2012) covering this very issue. 

According to the report, Stanley Gibbons, the stamp and coin collecting specialist, has seen interest in rare coins increase five fold since the launch of the service last summer.

Michael Hall, the chief executive of Stanley Gibbons, is reported to have said that the coin market is “very strong” and that it has been “going up by around 10% a year”

You may wish to have a look at Stanley Gibbons website and decide for yourself whether this is the sort of investment that interests you.  As with all investments, however, you will need to do your own due diligence.
