Any one ever done this or have thoughts on this?
The numismatic hobby is fading away, IMO. There was a time when you could rifle through loose change and possibly flip to some serious money, like when 1916-D dimes were actually circulating. That's just not the case nowadays and, there isn't going to be much interest past the millenial generation IMO. If you're looking for an answer regarding volatility, that's easy. In-demand T206 HOFers have been on a steady upward climb recently. Silver is all over the place. My favorite coin I ever owned was a VG10 1916-D, but I sold it to buy cards. I often looked at that coin, and imagined the guy's face who found it in circulation. What a day that must have been. Sadly, those exact moments that built the numismatic hobby are history.
