<p>[QUOTE="Zohar444, post: 1985117, member: 13450"]Great thread. I believe the answer is relatively simple and resembles going to a Casino vs. allocating some of your savings towards this as a hobby and/or asset allocation. If you are OK with losing a significant/entire amount in return for an enjoyable experience, then pay what it is worth to you without much research. I would then keep it to smaller amounts, as one would do in a Casino. For me personally, its a combination - I buy far fewer coins in total, yet do try to get them as nice as I can within a known competitive market. I research and purchase (or try to) based on the subjective assessment given the price band. From this point I ask myself "If the market were to drop by 50%, will I still be OK with the financial loss relative to the enjoyment in having such a piece of history" - if the answer is yes, it's a go.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
