[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 145015, member: 112"]Howdy bestblinds - Welcome to the Forum !! First of all, you've come to the right place if you want to learn about coins ;) We have some very knowledgeable members here and can answer just about any question you can ask. And if we can't answer it, then one of us probably knows to who else to ask. The next part is probably not what you expected to hear - but a great many experienced collectors, myself among them, will tell you that "investing" in coins is [B]not a good idea.[/B] There are actually very many logical reasons for this, but first and foremost among them is that it is not a good idea to invest in things you know nothing about. And the study of numismatics is something that can take a lifetime to learn. These same collectors will also tell you that the best reason to collect coins is because you like it - not because you want or expect to make money from it. Most of those who enter this hobby with the expectation of making profits usually end up losing their shorts. Those who enter the hobby because they like it, and are willing to study and enjoy the coins for what they are - those folks often do end up making a profit but usually only after many years. So anyway, if you have questions, ask away and we'll do our best to answer them ;)[/QUOTE]
