<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2286788, member: 76194&quot;]And therein lies the difference between many of us and investors. I am not an investor, I&#039;m a collector of coins. If I want to invest I buy stocks or bullion. My current modest collection of ancients ranges in price from around $30 to $400. In time I could see myself forking a bit of money to add a few special pieces, but I will always have plenty of room in my collection for $30-$100 coins. My one rule for collecting is very simple...do I genuinely enjoy the coin? If I don&#039;t, I won&#039;t get it no matter how much it costs or how rare its supposed to be.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some people have posted coins here that are worth several thousands that have made me drool, and some people have posted coins worth $40 or $50 that have made me drool just as much. And by the same token, I&#039;ve seen some coins here worth several hundreds or thousands that really haven&#039;t done much to me, because I just didn&#039;t care enough about either the theme depicted or knew little about the particular region or culture that made them to really appreciate them. I admired them for what they were and I&#039;m glad the owner enjoys them....but coins are a very personal thing regardless of price. You either genuinely enjoy a particular example or you don&#039;t. Collect what you like, and what you don&#039;t like I&#039;m sure someone else out there will find some joy out of it and collect it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
