<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gboulton, post: 1010736, member: 27043&quot;]Ya know...this gets back to something I&#039;ve said elsewhere...</p><p><br /></p><p>It all depends on why you&#039;re doing this.</p><p><br /></p><p>Probably safe to say every one of us here &quot;loves coins&quot;...or we wouldn&#039;t be here.&nbsp; But why?</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you love them for their art work?&nbsp; Then you might be interested in this 1903 Winged Widget with Enhanced Rhomboids!&nbsp; But probably only if it&#039;s graded MS-Eleventy by the CGOWAILATAIMU.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the other hand, maybe you like them for their value.&nbsp; In that case, you probably would prefer this 1924 Galactic Credit piece.&nbsp; It&#039;s a cull, but contains 1 full ounce of unobtanium.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps you like coins for their history.&nbsp; if that&#039;s the case, you&#039;ll find this 1776 &quot;JustARock&quot; 10 cent stone of interest.&nbsp; It&#039;s in great shape, primarily because nobody ever agreed to accept it in payment for anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>Or maybe you&#039;re like me, and coins interest you because of the stories they could tell.&nbsp; If that&#039;s the case, then you want the most worn CC dollars you can find...because they&#039;re cheap, and you get to imagine Wyatt Earp once collected it in poker winnings.</p><p><br /></p><p>======================</p><p><br /></p><p>The point is, whether or not you &quot;profit&quot; on something is but one aspect of...well...ANY hobby.&nbsp; I buy cheap coins, and expensive model airplanes.&nbsp; Both &quot;reward&quot; me in their own way, but neither will lead me to riches.</p><p><br /></p><p>In MY case, that&#039;s just fine.&nbsp; My path to &quot;riches&quot; doesn&#039;t lie in any of my hobbies...it lies in plying my trade to the highest bidder, living debt free within my means, and invest in long term steady growth investments.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your mileage may, of course, vary. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
