Land, purchased and held for potential increase in value.
Explanation: Under IRC §1221, capital assets generally include property held for investment, while excluded items include inventory held for sale, depreciable property used in a trade or business, and certain copyrights (for example, those created by the taxpayer). Land held for appreciation is a classic capital asset.
