<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 211326, member: 669&quot;]IMHO the question as worded makes no sense.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Investing&quot; consists of purchasing tangible or intangible things with the intent to receive regular income as a result of your ownership (stock dividends, CD interest, real property rents, etc.), and/or the intent to sell the thing at a profit at some time in the future.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Collecting&quot; consists of purchasing or otherwise acquiring items with some rational relationship for the pleasure of owning and accumulating them.&nbsp; Continuing expense (storage, insurance, security protection, etc.), not income, is the expected result of ownership.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are asking whether proof coins are good investments, I would respond that they are for those investors who succesfully&nbsp; choose proofs that subsequently increase in value, and sell at a time that their value has not regressed.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are asking whether proof coins are collectible, I would respond that they are for some collectors, those who find their accumulation and ownership to be enjoyable.</p><p><br /></p><p>While a particular item can certainly qualify as both a good investment and as a collectible, there is no direct correlation between those purposes of acquisition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
