[QUOTE="Dafydd, post: 26317341, member: 86815"]This is probably the best advice [USER=150064]@-monolith-[/USER] Collect for interest and education not profit. The possibility of prices becoming decimated by new discoveries is always there. If we ignore demand and supply a coin bought for $100 10 years ago would naturally gravitate to $135 based on inflation alone.
