<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 25300508, member: 4920"]Ever assemble a model airplane or build an electric train layout? Why do people enrage in those hobbies? I'll surmise it's not for the money. You've got a lot to learn about this hobby, if you think it is. I just hope for your sake you don't all but lose your mind in the process. I'd never like to see something like that happen to anybody, no way. But to a hobbyist, it's never about "value." To a commodities investor, it's about value. So one asks oneself, is one investing in commodities, or is one collecting coins? And if it's commodities, then good luck, friend, you're going to need it, because the only ones who make money on coins are dealers, the rest of us lose. Never met a coin collector who came out in the black selling a collection. That's not to say there aren't any. But it is to say, if you're not learning to get enjoyment out of coin collecting for its own sake, it's probably time to move on and look for some other "hobby" you can sink yourself into, because this one isn't cutting it for you. Try knitting. You like to sew? My grandma was a great knitter. I still got a blanket she knitted me, I like it a lot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
