I used to collect Silver coins when I was in Germany from a company called MDM M?nzhandelsgesellschaft mbH Deutsche M?nze. I wish I knew why I was collecting them. Maybe it was the idea that some of them might be worth a lot one day. 14 years later and some of them went up in price by $20.00.
LOL some investment eh.
