<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinage86, post: 214544, member: 7584&quot;]those of you who said coin buying is collecting, not investing: you win the debate.&nbsp; Im tired of arguing if its investing.&nbsp; If I said investing, Im going to contradict myself.&nbsp; &nbsp; The greysheet prices are what the dealers buy and sell for, at shows.&nbsp;&nbsp; I dont know if the greysheets are used by retail dealers who dont do shows.&nbsp; The guys on ebay start the stuff at fair prices.&nbsp; Then the idiots bid it up.&nbsp; Im the idiot who bought raw coins in 2005.&nbsp; Good dates, but some over-graded stuff. I took a break in 2006.&nbsp; I bought slabbed stuff by ngc and pcgs in 2007.&nbsp; I bought better stuff in 2007.&nbsp; I still took some losses cause ebay, as good as the price looks, the odds are the greysheet price is lower.&nbsp;&nbsp; Coins are collecting.&nbsp;&nbsp; Buy at the show at greysheet price, or read the greysheet before you bid on ebay.&nbsp; &nbsp; I had some overdrafts at the bank this month.&nbsp; I dumped my 7 morgans for $300.&nbsp; Im glad to have the $300.&nbsp; &nbsp; coins are a liquid item, but Im not going to go forward with an attitude that its a piggy bank.&nbsp;&nbsp; Cause later on I might not have a local coin shop guy nearby who is trustworthy and has ready cash.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
