<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pennycase, post: 15859, member: 1141&quot;]I&#039;m not an investor in coins, I feel as though some collectors out there actually still enjoy the hobby instead of looking at how little they can spend now, to retire later, at least I hope so. Maybe value to me and the other millions of collectors out there isn&#039;t the same, Valued by, is what I mean, harder to find, most being kept in a private collection because they are valued by so many, as yes, in fact being a bargain for a very low priced, older coinage in MS condition, that has a low mintage. You have so many people being led to believe that value is something that always involves money, that just isn&#039;t true, someone who might be misled to believe that the 1883 no cents nickel isn&#039;t a valuable coin to keep in mind, simply because they are led to believe that value = money, and nothing more, therefor that coin is handled less carefully than a high dollar coin, you mishandle a coin, or do not take proper care of the coin, you will get a lower grade, if 90% of the people out there who look at their overall collection as &quot; show me the money&quot; , and don&#039;t see this as a money maker in the future, and let this certain type downgrade year by year, I see the true caretakers of coins showing triumphant in the end. By the way, I don&#039;t see what being a member of the ANA has to do with anything honestly, I&#039;ve seen just as many crooked ANA members as I have seen Crooked pawn shops, don&#039;t get me wrong there are some awesome ANA members, but there are just as many smart, and honest people out there, that aren&#039;t a member of the ANA, you can give to the offering plate every Sunday, does that make you a christian?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
