[QUOTE="Jeepfreak81, post: 25108363, member: 93888"]There's been alot of good advice so far that I would generally agree with but this reply stood out to me for a couple reasons. The main reason is that there is a difference between "investment" and "has a value". As an investment, my coin "accumulation" is terrible, I'm aware that every coin I buy would likely be a loss if I resold it. HOWEVER - that doesn't mean they don't have value, especially in the future to someone who did not have to pay for them. That's part of why I try to keep good records of my coins, I give them inventory numbers and keep spreadsheets so that one day my kids have a reference should they wish to sell them or keep them or whatever. Wow, that's super cool and definitely not more than I wanted to know. I'm a bit of an egypt nerd, I have tattoos of Isis, the pyramids of Giza, and an Ankh. I took an ancient civilization course in college just for funsies. I don't spend near the time learning as I'd like to - too many hobbies. lol[/QUOTE]
