<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 3699530, member: 14873&quot;]Threads such as this keep occurring from time to time, I guess it is only natural.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think most of you know that I am living through the final stages of my lifetime of collecting Ancient coins. [USER=44132]@Bing[/USER] posted the following here which pretty well summarizes my own approaches and thoughts on the matter:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>He is especially right about aging quickly - you are at the end of your life before you know it - best to plan way ahead. My experience has been that very little turns out the way you thought it would in your younger years - so try and allow for unexpected circumstances when you plan your coin collecting exit strategy.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am quite happy with the way things are turning out for me - I really do enjoy “fondling, admiring and reading about my twenty coins”: (<a href="https://jp29.org/twenty.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://jp29.org/twenty.htm" rel="nofollow">https://jp29.org/twenty.htm</a>) - and also writing web pages. The only problem I have now is that I can’t get many CT members to participate in the threads I initiate - but that is my problem - I need to write more interesting and appealing material! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> (but profound thanks to all those who have contributed).</p><p><br /></p><p>Added: Regarding coins as investments: I know very little about investing. In fact, I know very little about money matters in general - I am very fortunate to have a great wife (who can draw on expert advice from family members) that handles all financial matters. But I do know this: collecting and researching Ancient coins for some eighty years has provided me with endless hours of great enjoyment and has contributed enormously to my knowledge of history and culture. That is priceless![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
