<p>[QUOTE=&quot;treylxapi47, post: 1829281, member: 41863&quot;]I would argue that the collectors of high end coins are MORE into the history and preservation than most collectors. The chances of early coins surviving in high grade are astounding against all the hands they&#039;ve seen and years gone past. That to me is fascinating that you can still find 179? or 180? coins in perfect shape. Survivability on these things are a feat all by itself. </p><p><br /></p><p>To own a early, rare, or super high end coin is more about the ability to preserve that piece as-is and ensure its as precious tomorrow as it is today for the future collectors. </p><p><br /></p><p>So in essence I see a lot of those collectors as protectors of the past and the future of these items.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I also understand the collector/investor or buys high grade fairly common gold or silver for investment purposes. </p><p><br /></p><p>I just like to collect (for now) and could very easily see myself as a steward of ensuring the integrity of these rare pieces for future generations to enjoy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
