<p>[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 3275831, member: 19165"]And this is the heart of why some people have trouble calling it an investment. To me, the "profit" doesn't even start until inflation is accounted for (the spreadsheet I use to catalogue my collection automatically adjusts my cost basis for inflation, so I have a more realistic idea of my progress). I just can't compare a coin purchased with 2018 dollars to one purchased with 1963 dollars - they are not the same unit of commodity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
