[QUOTE="drathbun, post: 1886684, member: 42789"]Part of it goes to a very simple question: Why are you collecting coins? If you're collecting to make a ton of money, good luck with that. :) If you're collecting because you like history, because you consider coins art, then buy what you love and don't worry about what someone else says. I just finished reading another thread where the poster got rid of a bunch of coins for a particular type set because he or she realized that they didn't like those coins! What a waste! Buy what you love, and don't worry about it. If the coins do happen to appreciate in value, then when you sell (you do realize you don't get anything back until you sell, right?) then you might make a return on your investment. But if you never sell, then it doesn't matter whether the value of the coin goes up or down. If you're happy, that's all that matters.[/QUOTE]
