[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 3699356, member: 98035"]Will my collection appreciate as much as my 401k by the time I retire? Probably not. Will it appreciate more than my wife's Lularoe legging collection? Definitely. I collect for my own enjoyment, but it is comforting to know that coins aren't an asset that approaches $0 value over time, like my friends whose hobbies are cars and computers. As I upgrade pieces in my Roman collection, I sometimes get to observe whether a particular coin I bought years ago sold for higher or lower - Sometimes they go for much higher, usually they go for about the same, sometimes I get taken to the cleaners. I do however enjoy the process of hunting for coin job lots to buy and flip for a profit - If I really wanted to get a maximum return from my coins, I'd probably be better off buying, flipping, and investing the profits in the stock market.[/QUOTE]
