All of us WIN! I have never met a person who collected or dealed coins that were not happy.... We all know that coin collecting starts out as just a thing to &quot;pass the time&quot; and before you know it your obsessed and your taking out a second morgage on your home to buy that 09-s VDB in MS-68 condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>We do it because we love it.... We might end up not making money.... but we made something much more important.</p><p><br /></p><p>To me describing why I collect coins is the hardest thing to do.... The people who already collect them don&#039;t even need to ask because we all know that we love the satisfaction of getting that last coin for your &quot;type-set&quot;, but you try to tell sum1 that who does not collect coins and you will get a look more flat then an un-struck quarter.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you collect you collect for a reason....</p><p><br /></p><p>We do it for investment?</p><p>We do it for satisfaction?</p><p>We do it for greed?</p><p><br /></p><p>WE DO IT BECAUSE WE LOVE IT!</p><p><br /></p><p>Note:</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I just wanted to say that collecting rolls of cirulated bicent. is not the dumbest idea in the world. I as well probabally have 10 rolls of them. I collect them because they are DIFFERENT and EASILY ATTAINABLE. I know they spent 2 years making them and that the mintage is astronomical, but the fact that it is different makes it worth it. Why would it hurt to put a few hundred dollars into circulated quarters....</p><p><br /></p><p>I also wanted to make mention to the few of you that said bic. qtrs. would be a bad investment..... IT WOULD NOT BE!!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>a BAD investment is an investment that basically loses you money. I guarantee you that if you pay 25 cents for a bicent. quarter you will never get less then 25 cents for it... making it an impossible loss on investmnet.&quot; </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
