<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1664370, member: 25270"]LostinSweden hit it right on the head. If you don't care about coins, you are never going to understand what makes them valuable and desirable to others, so you won't be able to make any money. You wouldn't take a guy who hates driving and make him a car salesman either. You need to really understand the product, not just as an abstract intellectual problem but viscerally. Personally I could make money selling coins, because I get it. I know what appeals to others because it appeals to me. I'm a collector though, so most of what I buy I keep instead of sell, but the capacity is there. And I don't know who told you they were a good investment. Anyone on here will tell you that's not the case. We collect coins because we love the history, not because we are wealthy. Some of us might be, but certainly not all. We are people who are passionate about our hobby, just like anyone else is about theirs, whether it be model trains, antiquing or golf.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
