Longin there is a part of contraian in me. Part of my life goals are to travel the world, and acquire and passdown a stunning numismatic collection. In my opinion I have no respect for money. Nothing but a ticket for fantasies which poker players throw around like paper airplanes. But I do respect it enough to realize that has an opportunity cost/vested interest in my future goals.

90% I'll finish school and bang my head against a cubicle for 10 years, but I do want to eventually take a chance with numismatics.

 

I wish you and other coin investers well *sincerely.*
It's tough on young people today to find much opportunity.
Investing in anything might better than trying to get
ahead in a corporation where your just an expendable.

The future, to me at least, has a lot of black swans
circling overhead, so anything may be possible. Maybe
even another 1979-80. Even the pigs were flying. LOL

But what GDJMSP said about knowledge, timing
and luck will probably still be around for a long
time.

Good luck.

Back on topic ...............

Coin collecting is the king of hobbies & the hobby of kings.

only situations." Revolver

 

I don't know why I re-visited this thread, but I had to laugh at that. actualy, I think one of my friend said that to another person. whats (my first name) doing? just talking to his coin nerds.

 

My favorite quote?

"Darn it! I just put a Susan B Anthony into the coke machine!"

 

My wife asks me all the time what kind of idiot would buy a penny for $100.

It makes me laugh every time.

 

Or from people buying stocks with a 200/1 PE.

 

Forgot where I heard this one.
"You cannot prevent toning on a coin. You can just postpone it."

 

All coin generalizations are false. even this one.
