<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Booner, post: 205909, member: 6856&quot;]Hi Ed,</p><p><br /></p><p>I too consider myself purely a collector, but that being said, I do consider cost when I purchase my coins. I try to get the best value possible.&nbsp; Not so much from the investment stand point, but because I have a limited amount of $$$ to go into my collection.&nbsp; I also fully expect to pass my collection on to my wife (who has no interest whatsoever), or my children.&nbsp; And I would like them to keep what I have collected and if not, to at least get a certain return from it.</p><p><br /></p><p>An example of my collecting are my Silver Eagles.&nbsp; Absolutely love these coins and my order of 11/12/06 for the 2006-W was cancelled a couple of weeks ago by the mint.&nbsp; With the low mintage, I am going to assume that this coin will increase in value so I went out and paid way more than the mint&#039;s price to add it to my collection.&nbsp; Investment? Sure, but I wanted this coin for my collection and paid what I felt I needed to and added it.&nbsp; I can&#039;t see the future but my guess is that what I paid now for this coin is probably less than I would pay a couple of years down the road.&nbsp; But, I&#039;ve been wrong before!</p><p><br /></p><p>I do agree whole-heartedly with you that there are alot of investment type threads out there.&nbsp; But there are far more collection threads.&nbsp; There are two sites that I visit daily and this is one of them.&nbsp; The information here is beyond value.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
