Looking forward to my new 1909 penny:yikes: i think thats kinda silly. you could put $4,000 into an emerging markets mutual fund and make 20% easy a year. that penny has no real value. you could have taken delivery of almost 6 ounces of gold!

That penny will be $10K in few years:cheers: my house is going to be worth 3x its value in a few years too. oh wait its not 2005 anymore :leaving:

i think thats kinda silly. you could put $4,000 into an emerging markets mutual fund and make 20% easy a year. that penny has no real value. you could have taken delivery of almost 6 ounces of gold! Last few years my Euro overseas funds have been doing 30% percent year:dthumb: That penny has out performed all stock funds and gold value over the years:cheers: 1 cent to value of $5000 do the math;)

dude i have one of those pennies just sitting on my dresser I would have given it to you if aksed! :wbs:

Last few years my Euro overseas funds have been doing 30% percent year:dthumb: That penny has out performed all stock funds and gold value over the years:cheers: 1 cent to value of $5000 do the math;) its like artwork, imo its only worth what another collector, cough, greater dummy, will pay for it. and its worth 3999 because thats what you paid for it, if it was going up in value so fast the guy wouldn't have sold it to you, and would have waited a year and got more for it.:idk: i only said 20 because who knows if going forward will be as good as the last few years. can't forget my china/world funds that are already up 50% this year and its only november :cheers:

Hey did you also check out high grade diamond bezel for wifes Rolex:slol: Those blue ants work great in cars ;) Coach wallets rock at half price. You are beyond cool. In fact, the coolest evah! Hey - someone get this guy a sign please.

They donot make these 1909 pennies any more ;) But they do make new ones which only cost one penny. :2cents:

They donot make these 1909 pennies any more ;) Really? You don't say.

I love the feeling that some people in this thread (as well as others that will post after me) feel that you are "stupid" simple bbecause they do not understand a different form of investment from a collectors eye. However, as one member pointed out so well, I guess you (thread starter sry cant remember your name) is just a "dummy" for being a smart investor for the future. I to know a small bit about coins, and it is true that I believe his invest in this penny is far safer then most current high rising stocks that most of you would suggest investing into. Also about the whole "that coin has no value, its only worth wutt the next 'bigger dummy' pays for it." Ummmm in case you havn't noticed, thats how the "value" for everything is based and determined.

1943 :yikes: 1909 VDB S most valued penny. Decided to pull the plug and go for it:cheers: You're a crazy son of a bitch! You buy that and not a bike! :nonod: Get a pic of it with your cats when they eat it!

You're a crazy son of a bitch! You buy that and not a bike! :nonod: Get a pic of it with your cats when they eat it! :baha: Good investment :dthumb:

You're a crazy son of a bitch! You buy that and not a bike! :nonod: Get a pic of it with your cats when they eat it! That bike isnt going to increase in value. :wink: For some people it's more about the big picture rather then instant gratification.

That penny will be $10K in few years:cheers: And they say America has a weak currency. BAH! I say... BAH!

You're a crazy son of a bitch! You buy that and not a bike! :nonod: Get a pic of it with your cats when they eat it! Gas, owned number of bikes over the years. My current bike, BMW F650GS has been best bike have ever owned. You can tour, hit the curves, take bike off road, added bonus gets almost 60 MPG at 75 MPH:yikes: Will replace my K1200RS with something, just not in a rush Penny didnot cut into bike budget;) You know cats would go after the platinum coins before the copper one:redevil: Shift is correct, you have to look at big picture in life:cheers:

I look at teh big picture every week when I dump into my 401k. All the other money I spend... planning on spending about $8500 on the chop this winter... can we say MAJOR mods!! :D

enjoy that penny, jetski. i wish i knew more about coins/antiques/stock market etc. i'd like to have the eye to spot the good deals. :dthumb:

Why? :idk: I can think of better things to invest my money in.

That bike isnt going to increase in value. :wink: For some people it's more about the big picture rather then instant gratification. Its gonna increase value in GM's eyes and thats all that counts. And nothing wrong for preparing for the future either, but everyones idea of that is different. jetskifast sounds as though he is very well off. And if he works/worked hard to achieve that more power to him. If not well hes lucky then :lol::cheers:

Ill my penny collecting buddies came over and we starred at my penny for hours, it was great! After that we headed over to senior center for donuts and coffee.

Hell, I wish I could afford to drop 4K on something right now. Tho I do understand the whole part about it being worth whatever you feel it's worth. I'm working on restoring my Cutlass, but money keeps going to other things... so it sits in the same drivable state for years on end :tt:
