<p>[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 2419806, member: 59737"]I don't think that they're offended by your opinion, it's possibly more the way you went about presenting it as if it were a well known fact. I would recommend in the future that you avoid words like "lousy" when referring to coins most people in this forum likely collect. Just about everything I've seen you post about coins deals with their monetary value versus their intrinsic value. So I hope you can understand how people would view you as an investor vs collector. If you're buying for resale value, you're investing. If you're buying because it's a beautiful coin, like the one [USER=73165]@Paul M.[/USER] showed, then you're a collector. There is a distinction and you can be both, but what you are talking about sounds more like investing. As for me, I don't see coin prices dropping any time soon, but I hope they do since I also have a low discretionary budget.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
