What a coin is worth

A coin if not just about anything is worth what a person is willing to pay for it...NO MORE AND DEFINATELY NO LESS

Oy....

 

This applies to every commodity since the beginning of time.

 

I give money to my kids for free, but I value it more, they pay less (none), and use it to spend more.

 

The problem is the OP usually spews this BS in the context of ignoring market realities.

 

This is now on a sticky note on my monitor.

 

Oz in Ohio? I thought it was in Kansas.

 

"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore"

 

Then the op will never understand when is, and when is not the proper time to buy.

 

I'm not sure we ever were.

 

Indeed.

Based upon past interactions with him, his issue seems to largely revolve around price guides. While I understand his frustration, promoting the notion that a coin is only worth what you'll pay for it is exceedingly poor advice, at least without properly qualifying his statement. Of course I'm not telling you anything you're not perfectly aware of; my issue is those who don't know any better and come here for solid real world advice.

There's nothing wrong with certain coins selling at a level well beyond what we personally find reasonable, but this doesn't mean they're overpriced and/or not "worth" the money others are paying.

 

You thought wrong...didnt you

 

It is OI not OY....as in - aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi

 

Sorry, but not in this context....

Oi! - used to attract attention, usually in a rough or angry manner

Oy! - (Oy vey) used as an expression of dismay or resignation

 

Touche!

 

Not in the least!

 

If you are an Aussie hanging out in Ohio, no wonder you're confused...
