<p>[QUOTE=&quot;19Lyds, post: 1898888, member: 15929&quot;]Folks, there are literally THOUSANDS of folks out there that have some type of initiation in coins. Mostly from reading stories in the news about untold wealth achieved from pocket change.</p><p><br /></p><p>These people know NOTHING about coins other than if they collect them, then someday what they&#039;ve collected or accumulated will have some value over and above what they paid. They REFUSE to entertain the thought that they just might be wasting their money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just last week, I spoke with a fella that has been buying proof sets for his kids and grandkids. Common, everyday, CnClad Proof Sets. I tried to tell him that usually, these are cheaper in the aftermarket but he was insistent on buying them as Christmas gifts.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sadly, these &quot;inheritance coins&quot; are just heart breakers for someone as they simply do not have nor will they ever hold a value even close to what was paid.</p><p><br /></p><p>People might as well stick an orange in a safe deposit box for when they get hungry.</p><p><br /></p><p>With that said, probably 9 out of 10 folks will actually leave coin collecting (or blind purchasing) once they find out that they&#039;ve been wasting money on something they know nothing about. As such, these TV Shows do more to hurt the hobby than actually encourage the hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>But.....that&#039;s just my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
