[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1596069, member: 26302"]I think some people collect coins like playing that game. Searching for deals, trying to "make money". Too much work for me to roll search, and the longer I have been in coin collecting the more its been beaten into me "cheap coins are cheap", and usually you get what you pay for. Looking back, the coins I really pull out and look at today are not the ones I got great deals on, but the ones I fell in love with and paid full boat for. Some times I have been lucky and fell in love with a coin that for some reason went cheap, but those are few and far between, and have only happened in ancient coins, not US coins. So, I guess my answer is no. I waste money buying coins that please me, and do not keep score of what my collection may be worth. Btw, no offense meant OP, I sure was there back when BBS downloads ruled, you had to store your downloads on like 15 3.5 inch floppies, etc. I just don't collect that way anymore.[/QUOTE]
