<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1799363, member: 26302"]Tim, a few things. One, NEVER talk yourself into convincing yoruself coins you buy are "for investment". Its a sucker play, something done to collectors repeatedly to get them to spend more money than they are comfortable with for just a hobby. Set yoruself a monthly budget for your hobby, and consider the money gone.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second, limiting the mintage like that is also a sucker play. What mints do is know they might only sell 700 of an item, so they set a "maximum mintage" of 1000 to try to get more people to think, "its going to be rare, I need to buy one". Mintage are WAY lower in the rest of the world for such things than the US. I don't know if there will even be 50 people in the world collecting such items in the future.</p><p><br /></p><p>Third, I know its hard, but wouldn't such money be better spent on either a better way to go to work, education to get a better job, or moving expenses to where there are more jobs?
