My father recently began collecting coins impulsivly from westminster
mint, it seams like he places an order ever few weeks when a salesman
from the company calls offering a special deal that is guarentied to
increase in value. Are westminster coins really collectable as an
investment or has he fell for a scam.

Thanks All

I would not consider any coin from Westminster as an investment.
