<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2011steeny, post: 2929811, member: 87763&quot;]Since the original post from you, the conversation has taken quite a turn from what you were wanting to talk about. For what it&#039;s worth, here&#039;s my 2 cents;</p><p><br /></p><p>COIN Collecting, can be an extremely enjoyable hobby, for anyone, no matter the budget they have to work with. Those with a low end budget, need to choose wisely about their purchase, to make sure that the item being purchased , is something that they WANT or NEED for their collection. Those with an unlimited, (or very large), budget, can pretty much buy whatever they desire, whether they need it or want it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Being a &quot;Collector&quot;, (not just coins, but any item), pretty much follows the same rules, with the exception, that lower budget &quot;Collectors&quot;, may buy a coin, stamp, currency, picture, sports card, knife, etc., one time, and a different item the next time. Normally when collectors purchase precious metal objects, they try to buy it when the market price is low, and sell it when market prices rise, unless they purchased the item for themselves.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been Coin Collecting now for the better part of 45 years, and from what I can make of your post, you have quite an opportunity in front of you. I&#039;m not sure just how familiar you are with coins, as an investment, but you DID happen to mention one of the most expensive coins in the market, (1893-S Morgan), so I&#039;m assuming that you know a little something about coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>The items that you mentioned later in the forum, shows that they have a variety of different coins and such. My advice to you would be, to save up and wait until they are actually ready to sell, and then scoop it up ASAP. You mentioned that you had a chance to look through most of the items they have for sale, but that doesn&#039;t negate the possibility, of finding a key date coin, once the transaction has been completed, and you have the time to do a closer inspection, of the items purchased in the sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wish you good luck with the deal, and I hope you find something in the mix, that will make you feel good about the purchase you made. Merry Christmas[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
