<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1844651, member: 26302"]I hear what you are saying but I really don't relate. I buy for the sake of buying, because it is interesting to me, or I like it, or because by buying it I will be more interested in the history related to it. So, I really buy my ancient coins to force history on myself. They do that for me, so I consider the money I spent on the coin "used up". I paid X for the coin, got X value out of it, so I am even. Any residual value they may hold in the future my wife and sons can worry about. </p><p><br /></p><p>It might be selfish, but I simply do not worry about how much they will inherit from my coins. I got my value out of them, that is all I worry about. I will leave them stocks, property, and PM as their inheritance. I do not build my coin collection based upon an investment strategy. If I did, I wouldn't enjoy it, and isn't that the point of a hobby?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
