<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 8216512, member: 77704&quot;]I would say that is true for the &quot;investor&quot; types. But for average collectors like you and I/ most who post on CT/ the main reason behind our passion is the pleasure we derive from our collections. Eric Newman was an example of a very rich man/ who was a true coin collector. He probably holds the record for being involved in coins for 100 years. The &quot;Tyrant&quot; another true collector. The only &quot;negative&quot; to having that kind of money, is that I would spend most of the day glued to sixbid/ looking for desirable targets/ then sitting thru the drawn out auction to win them. Of course you still have to be carefull not to bid at all costs/ the money would runout quickly. A Billion is only 1000 Millio[ATTACH=full]1442328[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1442329[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1442330[/ATTACH] n/ there are thousands of Million dollar + coins out there/ some into 10+ territory. I would not be stupid to spend 20M on a 33 Double Eagle/ I am happy with a MS-66+ 1927 ex. at $2200<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I would spend a M on a 1683 Michal Apafi AV 100 Dukaten (Transylvania) or 100K+ for Postumus/ Laelinus/ Quintillus/ Alexander of Carthage Aurei in MS. But, I would still collect MS gold in the 500-1000 range. Also, my collection would be housed in a special secure room/ so I could look at them every day<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>My ultimate Holy Grail&quot; coin would be the Kingdom of Aragon AV 50 Enriques struck by Enrique IV in 1471. That coin is heavenly!!!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
