11. How long should I hold onto my SA rare coins?

SA rare coins, as with most good investments, should be bought for the medium to long term. This means that it should be held between 3 – 5 years. Almost any good investment throughout the world today, takes time to build growth momentum. One should take the same investment attitude with SA rare coins that you would take with any other investments. A rare coin will always increase in value over the long term. It stands to reason that a rare coin will become rarer with the passage of time.

This is one of South Africa's best wines. Rare coins, like a good wine, give you bigger benefits
the longer you hold onto them. Their profits get greater and greater with time.
There are times when the market moves at a fast pace and profit opportunities present themselves in less than a year, but this is not the norm. Naturally, should a particular coin which you have purchased be in great demand, you are free to sell and take the profit.

The greatest profits made in investments around the world are generally done over the long term. To put it simply, if you find a really great investment, stick with it as long as the overall trend is upward. It will pay you to hold onto the investment. Every single investment in the world follows a path that includes peaks and valleys. In other words, there will be times when an investment’s value increases and there are times when it may lose value.
