A bad investment are "spurious set" coins. This is another popular TV shopping show product, plus they're found in magazines and swap meets quite often. "Spurious sets," by my definition, are sets that are put together out of lower grade and/or common coins according to some kind of theme. The coins are usually placed in fancy plastic holders, with nice quality packaging, and then you pay $38.99 for a set of five coins that are worth $2.99 just because they were all minted during World War II, or the Vietnam War, or because they're from around the world and commemorate Marilyn Monroe or some sort of cartoon characters. Such coins are usually genuine, and will probably appreciate in value, but they probably won't be worth what you paid for them anytime during the next five generations! These are a favorite of dealers like Littleton.
