<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 9243, member: 112"]When deciding where or on what coins to spend your budget - you have to leave the money end out of the equation. This is why - the coin market like any other goes up and down in cycles. What you pay $500 for today may in 5 yrs only be worth $250. Or it may be worth $750.

And the scenario I described above is why. If you just collect the coins you like and move on without worrying about what they are worth or what they will be worth - then you usually end doing fine. This is because coin collectiing is something that usually last a lifetime. And over the course of several decades - the gyrations of the market don't matter anymore because your collection has increased in value several fold. </p><p><br /></p><p>So bottom line - don't worry about it.
