<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bonedigger, post: 330887, member: 4367&quot;]Mark, what did CT say about hyperbole?&nbsp; #1, The <b>Knowledgeable</b> collector won&#039;t let this scenario happen.&nbsp; #2.&nbsp; The <b>Knowledgable</b> collector won&#039;t liken their collection to a source of income like Social Security for neither will support you (all by themselves) in your Golden Years.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>What&#039;s the old adage about a coin and a book, which should come first?&nbsp; If the book is purchased before the coin, 99% of those negative results Doug posted can be avoided.&nbsp; As we both know, there are many, many who choose not to buy the book when they begin their numismatic journey.&nbsp; This is where their future problems begin.</p><p><br /></p><p>IMHO a Coin Collection is supposed to create an enjoyable diversion or hobby for the individual who has one.&nbsp; When investing and collecting begin to mix, bad things will happen more times than not for the investor.</p><p><br /></p><p>Take Care</p><p>Ben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
