<p>[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 1470354, member: 24754"]I ultimately collect coins as a hobby because I enjoy the search and have a sincere appreciation for my collection. But one of the real benefits of collecting coins as a hobby is that, while you can spend a lot of money, you aren't really "spending" it in the traditional sense. I'm willing to spend money on coins, and probably spend more than I should sometimes, because I know that what I am buying will retain value. I certainly don't consider my coins as investments, and do not want to approach collecting from an investment perspective. However, I do consider my coins as something analogous to a savings account. It's a win-win situation if I can enjoy the pursuit of coins, enjoy owning and displaying them for a number of years, and then recoup the value at some point down the road. I want my collection to focus on coins that are likely to increase in value or maintain their value as a means of ensuring that this will be the case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
