<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CohibaCris, post: 13612, member: 904&quot;]Which is the question, right?&nbsp; Collector vs. quasi Investor Collector?</p><p><br /></p><p>No matter which way you slice it, this hobby is largely representative of a casino in how the returns are handed out.&nbsp; A few win big, most lose what they planned to lose, and almost all have a great time doing it.</p><p><br /></p><p>For me - this is a hobby.&nbsp; Not a get rich slow scheme.&nbsp; Because I have not children, nor plans for any, I can see my wife and I liquidating our collections for world travels and the like later in life.&nbsp; But only for fun, and not to make x% over the acquired price tag plus inflation.</p><p><br /></p><p>We started collecting with the intent of documenting our acquisition price for every coin.&nbsp; It was daunting and depressing.&nbsp; We stopped after a couple of weeks, and have been much happier not really caring what the metal discs are worth and our returns.&nbsp; We just like bright shiny objects!&nbsp; <img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/10/10_5_136.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
