<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jaceravone, post: 345847, member: 9474&quot;]Aside from the school of thought that says, If you like a coin - collect it, if you don&#039;t like a coin - don&#039;t collect it.... there is a tiny piece of me that also wants to collect these pieces for their supposed &quot;numismatic&quot; value down the road. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now we all don&#039;t know what the &quot;numismatic&quot; value of these coins will be 10, 20, 30 years down the road.... the only value that is otherwise guareenteed appears to be the melt value. Someone made an interesting comment on another thread that stated that there may not be <i>any</i> numismatic value to these coins other than the melt value itself. This, of course is just speculation, but is really disturbing to me because I really like these coins and do collect them. It would be a tremendous goal to collect all these coins and be able to pass them down to your children (who will then most likely cash them in anyway for face value!:headbang: <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> LOL!)&nbsp; But it would almost (an I&#039;m putting in there &quot;almost&quot;) be a waste of my time and money collecting these when I could be spending the thousands of dollars a year on other coins with a greater numismatic value that will appreciate over the years.&nbsp; This same philiosophy can be said about almost anything collectable or with stocks and bonds.&nbsp; My biggest fear is that I end up spending all this money on them primarily because the value of gold is driving up the price/value, then over the years the gold value falls and there is no numismatic value at all. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway, I&#039;m feeling like that little kid who made a mistake and now wants his parents to say its ok in order for the kid to feel better. LOL!&nbsp; Don&#039;t mind me... I&#039;m just rambling... this is what happens when you have a few hours of downtime while working.&nbsp; I know there are a lot of other collectors out there that feel the same way as I do and its just nice to hear that I&#039;m not alone. Thanks. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
