[QUOTE="ikandiggit, post: 1011250, member: 16269"]Your thread is timely in my case. I was discussing this with a friend a couple of days ago. Because the majority of my collection has been assembled from finds out of the wild (coins and paper money errors), my money outlay has been extremely low compared to the value of the items. I have bought a small pile of silver bullion for investment but again, that was purchased with the proceeds from my metal detecting finds. I sold a gold chain that allowed me to get a nice stack of silver when the price was a lot lower than today. The only other items that I've bought that I paid a higher price for was U.S. error notes that I don't have ready access to here in Canada. But, over all, I'm way ahead of the game. I didn't start collecting as a way to make money, it just worked out that way.:D[/QUOTE]
