  The rarer the coin is the better. For example you wouldn't invest money on a 1956-d wheat cent in EF condition. With a mintage of  1,098,201,100   One can see why this would not be a wise investment!   A good coin to invest in in my option is A 1909-s vdb wheat cent because it has a mintage of around  484,000 and in EF condition the coin is worth 1,000 dollars but in 1968 the coin was only worth 165 dollars with inflation adjusted that is between 500-600 dollars. So you purchased the coin back in 1968 you would  make money!
