<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Revi, post: 1664379, member: 42843&quot;]I see coins as a kind of antiquing.&nbsp; They are small and easily stored, which is a plus.&nbsp; It&#039;s fun for me to find a coin in the junk bin that I know is worth much more.&nbsp; I got a 1775 English half penny in a foreign coin bin.&nbsp; It had a hole in it, but for 12 and a half cents, how could I go wrong!&nbsp;&nbsp; Just like antiques you won&#039;t make any money until you sell them, but that&#039;s part of the process too.&nbsp; I found a Charles Hunt print and tried to sell it for the three hundred I thought it was worth and eventually ended up selling it for $100.&nbsp; That was 2 and 1/2 of the price I got it for, so after thinking about it for a while I am happy about it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Any trade where you don&#039;t lose your shirt is good.&nbsp; There&#039;s the price you think things are worth and the price they will actually sell for.&nbsp; Fortunately with coins you will get a feel for what things are worth and then a realistic idea of what things go for eventually.&nbsp; The Red Books and Grey sheets are a good thing to check out before buying, and the blue book before selling.&nbsp; And don&#039;t beat yourself up over things that are sold.&nbsp; Just chalk it up to market research.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
