<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rabone, post: 323009, member: 1515&quot;]Yes, he does have a point. However, my point is to try and show how many (or percentage) of collectors today can afford the kind of coins he is talking about? When you take a total population of coins, and cull it down to a series that have 2000 or less graded coins, you are talking about ultra high dollar coins. My point is that the everyday &quot;Joe&quot; collector cannot, nor ever hope to, obtain these types of coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>My other point was to try and show that if you are collecting for profit, there is the chance that you can make a profit, and sometimes a very handsome profit, from modern Mint issues. Now, if you buy 5 of everything, yes, you are going to collect a lot of stuff that will never gain the kinds of profits I pointed out. But how many modern collectors thought to themselves in November of 2004... &quot;Hmmmm, I think the uncirculated mint set is going to be a real deal, so I need to buy 10 more sets...&quot;? Over 400% in 3 years is not too shabby.</p><p><br /></p><p>Said another way, you have to do some homework. And make educated decisions. And even then they can blow up in your face.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
