<p>[QUOTE=&quot;greglax45, post: 345052, member: 10203&quot;]In my view about coin collecting as a Young numismatist, there are too many collectors(or hoarders) that spend WAY too much time worrying about the investment of the coin, rather than the greatness of the coin itself.&nbsp; Because the investment portion of my life has not struck me yet, I find the joy in coin collecting from the history that I learn from it.&nbsp; Never did i know that coin questions would pop up on Jeopardy or the New York Times Crosswords.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Finding a certain collection &#039;trend&#039; in coins is what is great too.&nbsp; What this causes many collectors to do is to set goals for themselves, and once that goal is achieved, you feel so much better about life that you forget about the monetary value of the coin or monetary antiquity.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, in my honest opinion, coin collecting is not for those who want to get rich quick.&nbsp; If you want to do that, go rob a bank(not necessarily a good idea though).&nbsp; This fabulous hobby is for those that love challenging themselves into completeing a set, in completing an album, etc.&nbsp; Lastly, if you don&#039;t have fun collecting there is no point.&nbsp; When there is no fun, there is no Passion.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Viva Coin Collecting!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
