<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1006800, member: 19065&quot;]Albeit appropriate per your experience and knowledge of the subject in&nbsp; discussion resulting from the OPs inquiry, it may well not be so for the OP and others. You know what&nbsp; they say about assuming... </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I wholly concur with you about the nature of these threads seeking&nbsp; supportive justification after the fact, to which I&#039;d add (suggest) the&nbsp; intelligence factor in this situation, which you gave benefit of the&nbsp; doubt to the OP (respectfully) is yet to be fully determined. At best&nbsp; it&#039;s 50/50 or &#039;questionable&#039; in light of the amount of money put down on&nbsp; various collectible and investment items to the post-purchase tune of&nbsp; &#039;How&#039;d I do&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for argumentative, anything and everything has been or can be argued&nbsp; in some fashion between parties, reasonably or irrationally. To suggest&nbsp; others opining to this inquiry is useless is your own argument of a different nature and not&nbsp; one that addressed the OPs concern. General consensus in coin forums is that&nbsp; investing in coins is a difficult, dangerous and risky venture, best&nbsp; avoided. Collecting is to be thrilling and enjoyable, rather than stress-filled with&nbsp; calculated risks to protect one&#039;s wealth with the same thing meant for enjoyment.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think you will face an up hill battle to suggest investing in coins is&nbsp; merely hypothetical and grounds for argument. Case by case, each person&nbsp; and their stated goals and inventory define them, they are not a hypothetical. They are a&nbsp; collector, an investor or some form of hybrid therein with intention or&nbsp; capability to separate their activities and interests. The generality of the statements that coins are a bad investment may be too simply expressed for your taste but it&#039;s not intended to reiterate every time full reasoning as to why amongst a niche audience focused on the topics somewhat regularly and more keenly than those outside investing and collecting. </p><p><br /></p><p>The 67SLQ reference(?)... sorry but I don&#039;t know that one either. I&nbsp; haven&#039;t read any recent threads on those coins. There&#039;s also nothing I&nbsp; need to address in private, not sure why there would be. And one&#039;s own&nbsp; words and their implication cannot be excused due to others&#039;&nbsp; interpretation of them nor ought a piece of hardware be blamed, after all, whose hands typed&nbsp; those words it spat out... you&#039;re just as responsible for what you spell&nbsp; out and phrase in the context you chose, as if you also had said them. If you cannot revise or explain what you meant, and those responding hold you to your words, that <i>is</i> what you meant, candidly or by implication.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, a healthy debate (not belligerent bickering type arguments) about this are equally as informative to the OP and others as to the question you moved to down-grade to a hypothetical and &#039;argumentative at best&#039; as it actually works to show how complex and varied the perspectives and depths of knowledge are from one to another.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
