[QUOTE="clembo, post: 246803, member: 8033"]No offense taken and I agree although I did give a dollar amount. The reason I think coin collecting is so great is: 1) I've been doing it since I was a small child 2) I love the beauty and the history behind coins. That's why I'm so heavy into U.S. type 3) Filling a hole in your collection can always be a challenge. Hey, I don't just buy the first one that comes up. I look for the coin that I want at the best price I can get it at. 4) To me it IS an investment but not in the literal sense. I LOVE my coins but have no children nor anyone that I would leave them to besides my wife. As I grow older I will start selling my "best" coins. Hopefully they will wind up in the hands of someone like myself. I also have a few low dollar, sentimental pieces that I would like to be buried with when that time comes. I've bought a lot of coins over the years. Many were cheap but I thought they were cool. That histroy issue always comes up with me. I have a few Conder tokens and a smattering of Tax tokens as well. Not big dollar but the history behind them! To me spending money on coins is fine, appreciating what is behind the coin is even finer.[/QUOTE]
