[QUOTE="jody526, post: 16182, member: 578"]Not much anyone can add to that. Just good, sound advice. I can't help but wonder ,though, how many will actually heed that advice? I suppose if only one collector follows it, it won't be words that were wasted. Never fails to amaze me, ND, that you recommend collectors buy what they like, rather than what you happen to have in inventory at the time. My hat's off to you, sir. Another point, that should be made, is to always stay within your means. Coins can be very addicting. It's all to easy, in these days of credit cards, online money transferes, magazine "coins on approval" ads, etc., to get carried away. My advice, has always been, "don't spend more than you can afford to loose". There's no gaurantee that you will ever be able to sell your coins for what you have invested in them, let alone make a profit. This gets back to what ND said about collecting what appeals to you, therefor the value will be sentimental. Another phrase, I'm fond of quoting is, "the price is what you paid, the value is what you got". Ponder on that, if you will. ;)[/QUOTE]
