Collectors have a wide range of areas from which to add to their collections. Ancient coins represent the utmost in historical value, and can include the silver coinage of ancient Athens, the numismatic world of Alexander the Great, and portrait coinage featuring the famous and infamous of the Roman Empire. Collectors who are fascinated with history can widen their horizons by adding examples from the Byzantine Empire and medieval Europe, the fascinating monarchs of Renaissance England, and the myriad German and central European states which have long ceased to exist.

Among my top five worst coin investments are modified coins, such as genuine U.S. Mint products that have been altered by adding holographics or coloring. These coins are generally considered "damaged" by serious coin collectors, and you will only get the bullion value when you go to sell them, if that. I have heard of dealers discounting them because of the added impurities that the paint and other crap applied to the coins adds to the metal.
According to many experts, the best type of investment coins are rarer, key date coins issued by the United States, in the best grade you can afford to buy them in. If you can't afford to shell out $2,000 a coin to buy key dates in high grades, then buy common coins in the finest grades you can. Lower grade, common coins have historically not appreciated as much in value as key date coins do, so they are probably not a good investment choice (although they're great for filling up the holes in albums, especially with kids helping out!)
Buy Krugerrand gold coins.
