<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 570651, member: 3011&quot;]Use of the word &quot;fact&quot; just isn&#039;t factual.&nbsp; But it&#039;s been repeated so often that folks start to believe it.&nbsp; It took no special ability to save a few $20 gold coins when they were available at $20, or silver coins from the 60s when they were worth face value, or silver dollars when they were worth a dollar.&nbsp; I think where the &quot;coins aren&#039;t a good investment&quot; mantra came from is the observation that avid collectors typically overpay for coins they must have for their collections, and justify the overpayment using recent auction results or greysheets or any other info available at the time to prove to them that everybody is doing it so it must be right.&nbsp; I agree that overpaying turns collecting into a perpetual hobby by ensuring that no money will be made.&nbsp; But the same is true of overpaying for every other asset class.&nbsp; There just isn&#039;t any difference.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, that&#039;s enough on that subject.&nbsp; I just want to make sure both sides are presented.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
