<p>[QUOTE="crystalk64, post: 36336, member: 1873"]The real beauty of coins, if you buy into nice specimens that other collectors would ultimately want your money is pretty safe. I can put money in the bank, savings and checking, and me and my family eat at it and eat at it. The fridge will quit, the sweeper quit, and the car break down! It is inevitable the drain WILL never end but if I put money in coins, gold or silver or guns the money never leaves me until I am ready to sell and that point in time is ENTIRELY up to me. No paperwork, no taxes, no trail unless of course you do over $10 grand in any one outing which most of us can't or won't do. Basically my hard earned money is very SAFE as long as I purchase items that most collectors would like to have and I purchase at a very agreeable price! I am very very comfortable with this arrangement as (1) no one else is in control of my money, (2) no one else is constantly telling me what I should do with my money and (3) win, lose or draw I can blame no one else but ME! And I like the feeling that for a few seconds each day that I AM ACTUALLY IN CHARGE OF WHAT I CHOSE TO DO! It is my collection and in my collection I AM THE CEO! Sure can't say that about many aspects of our lives any more!!! Love this hobby![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
