<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Eskychess, post: 195370, member: 4692&quot;]You people who want to make quick profit are missing the point of coin collecting some. I&#039;ll never look down on a person for making profit on a collectible. Face it, we all loved that $5 coin we bought and turned around and got $10 for it later. That&#039;s nature and that&#039;s life. BUT - we have to remember that as we get NEW coins in the system, somebody has to take care of them so they CAN become more valuable. My best coin is a MS-64 Flying Eagle (Thus my avatar) - I paid $1,100 for it, which was fair. I didn&#039;t buy it to make money though, I bought it to own and treasure and keep safe for the next collector! If that is 20 years from now and I get $5,000 for it - so be it, but the key is someone in 1858 had to say, hmmmm, I&#039;m gonna put this away for safe keeping and then subsequently for 150 years up to myself, there has been a LONG string of care and probably enjoyment as I love looking at my FE penny with its such nice detail. The presidents will do the same. Yes, it may take 200 years to realize a profit on it, but it may not. I made a killing on my 1999 and 2001 proof sets. People that wasn&#039;t that long ago!!! hehehe And hey, it&#039;s fun to have a full collection of anything - the presidents will be no different. I have all the Sackies - I&#039;m not FOND of that series, but oh well - I have them! 100 years from now someone is going to be glad I saved them and they may love them! And I won&#039;t make all that much profit, but I will have helped the hobby. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Take Care - Esky[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
