<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Heliodromus, post: 8297629, member: 120820&quot;]I have a slightly different but related take on it...</p><p><br /></p><p>For the bulk of my collection, especially less-rare types, I try to be patient and buy at prices where I think I have a reasonable chance of getting my money back when I eventually sell. I don&#039;t regard them as an investment as such (realize could go down in value rather than up), but neither as money spent and gone. Given that I collect LRB, some are very cheap and will probably always stay that way, not even covering postage costs. Hopefully the better coins might help defray that cost.</p><p><br /></p><p>OTOH there are times, for rarely seen coins, where my price sensitivity goes out the window and I&#039;ll quite happily &quot;overpay&quot; based on the rationalization that this is indeed &quot;gym membership&quot; or &quot;golf fees&quot; - money that has been spent on the hobby for the fun of it, with no expectation of ever recouping it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
