<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Thorne, post: 3345391, member: 56869&quot;]I love some of the advice you&#039;ve gotten here. As a wiser man than I said long ago, &quot;Be a collector first.&quot; The wiser man was Q. David Bowers, and I&#039;ve quoted him many times in my writings. Believe it or not, coins have been a good investment for me. However, I started out as a collector and still consider myself a collector/investor/occasional dealer/lover of most things numismatic. What does it take to be a successful investor in coins? How about 65 years of experience during which I&#039;ve won some, lost some, but have come out ahead more often than not. A lot of it has been luck and good timing, not any special skills I possess. If you&#039;re looking to make a fortune overnight, you&#039;re in the wrong place to do it. Bottom line: Be a collector first and don&#039;t think of the coins you buy as investments. Think of them as fun additions to your collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
