<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stevex6, post: 1842286, member: 44183&quot;]You chaps seem very wise and you write extremely well, so I won&#039;t try to add too much to your spiels ...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Umm, I guess one of the nice things about collecting coins as a hobby, is the fact that our coins are certainly going to be worth &quot;something&quot; if and when it&#039;s their time to be sold (hopefully not sold by me) ... some other hobbies seem like far bigger wastes of money than our chosen hobby =&gt; I have buddies that spend incredible amounts of cash on adult &quot;toys and activities&quot; (snow-mobiles, boats, quads, guns, fishing, cabins, golfing, trips, etc) =&gt; and although those things can be very cool/enjoyable as well, their end-value is most likely going to be far less than the value of my coin collection ... I guess ideally, a nice mix of both worlds would be the wisest and most healthy strategy?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>... anyway ... I have &quot;never&quot; tried to sell any of my coins, so I fully admit that if the time ever comes, I really have zero-idea what my collection will be worth, but I&#039;m fairly sure that you wise-men are correct =&gt; when I bought my coins I was hungry to buy &#039;em, so I probably paid top-dollar for them ... but if I was ever eager to sell them, then I would once again be the dude that was on the eager-side of making the transaction, so I may take a bit of a hit just to get rid of them (resulting in a pay-off that would be far less than my high-end purchase price) ...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>yah, I think I&#039;m gonna keep these babies for as long as I can ... and I&#039;m also not even going to consider them part of my retirement investment (my coins are merely my expensive hobby ... sadly, they&#039;re probably &quot;not&quot; gonna be my get-rich-quick scheme)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
