<p>[QUOTE="MorganFred, post: 36309, member: 1779"]Boy, does that article hit home for me. I consider myself both a collector and an investor; I buy Morgans with appreciation in mind, sell them (hopefully) at a profit, take the gain and reinvest it in higher grade Morgans. Unfortunately, I reach a plateau for any particular coin date/mint beyond which I will not sell (unless I'm $ desperate) since the coin is so nice, I just can't part with it. My ultimate goal is a Registry-level collection which will be worth a lot, is eminently liquid, but is worth showing off. The ultimate question and my quandary would then be: at what point in my life do I part with my collection or can I take it with me to my grave? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I guess that makes me more a collector than an investor; or maybe an investor who got converted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
