<p>[QUOTE="Evan_76, post: 1829175, member: 59458"]I live in Manhattan, the economy here is a lot different than other places in the US. For the past decade I have been spending my money on bottle service at 4 am at the hottest clubs, dining out for every meal, and basically spend money like water. Then I bumped into a nice girl, and one day when I bought her an ice cream cone, and in my change was a circulated 1948 S quarter. I thought it was really neat, so I went online and bought one that was MS. Then I got a Whitman book, and completed the series in MS, and things snowballed from there. The way I see it, coins are beautiful, and hold some value over fiat. They may not be great ROI, but whatever return I get will be better than the $400 bottle I bought some girl I can't recall her name now. Besides I have fallen hard for coins, I enjoy them raw and graded, old and new. I doubt I will ever sell anything, and will probably pass them along to my kids or whatever. it is a hobby I enjoy, and I believe it is a better investment than not investing in anything at all, which was my former path. And now that I have filled up a safety deposit box, my attention turned to how my 401K is doing, and asking questions about other forms of investing that I never would have asked myself before I bought (my wife now) that ice cream cone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
