<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blissskr, post: 2840127, member: 34882&quot;]Bad idea imo. Unless you&#039;re talking really rare really expensive coins that would generate auction buzz, etc. But for the average collector I think looking at your coins as an investment is a bad idea as it&#039;s very likely you&#039;ll be losing money on most coins when selling. Sometimes you can get lucky and make money but most times you&#039;ve pretty much lost money instantly when buying, as if you immediately turned around sold the same coin you just bought you&#039;d take a loss. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thinking of coins as an investment because of this inherent loss which generally constitutes dealers margins is a real quick way to ruin the hobby for someone. In fact I wish more collectors would take to heart the advice to not just buy coins; but take the time to sell a few yearly as well. And sell both to dealers as well as sell themselves online, to other collectors, etc. I think this would help make sure they don&#039;t end up shocked or unhappy that their coins aren&#039;t worth as much as they might have thought they were if and when they end up liquidating whether by choice or necessity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
