<p>[QUOTE=&quot;the_highlander, post: 25999, member: 1592&quot;]I like to buy job lots of mixed to get one specific coin.I can often sell the surplus for the money i paid it, and more often than not more.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think its wrong for some here to say that people shouldnt look at getting a return on there coin purchases.A lot of collectors start to specialise in a very tight area and become experts within that area.So who better to know and spot a bargain than an expert.A coin dealer cant possibly know everything about it all unless they too specialise, though most are general dealers, same goes for antiques or paintings or any kind of collectables.What im trying to say is there is no reason a collector shouldnt also look on his purchases as an investment if he has done his homework.And you dont make the profit when you sell you make it when you buy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Im no expert in coins but im not a fool either, i purchase bullion as a protection, i wouldnt jump into any coin purchase without first known the going average price that its selling for then i look to get buy it at well below what a dealer is selling it for.This is not only possible its actually very likely with a bit of study.The people that jump in without thinking are fools and they would be fools in any other walk of life or hobby or whatever.</p><p><br /></p><p>Saying all this there is also nothing wrong with buying something you like at full dealer price,though i just wouldnt do it you can most likely still find that coin you desire cheaper if you do the leg work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
