<p>[QUOTE=&quot;joecoincollect, post: 2113230, member: 71338&quot;]Since coins from our past are tied to precious metals, and ones today are made with them sometimes, this makes them more complex for starters. Stamps got rarity, collector value, various designs like coins do, but stamps are all pieces of paper. The intrinsic value of a lot of coins is a better bet when calamity occurs or just going into the future. As far as art, coins can be in relief, create cameo contrasts, shine, and present themselves as miniature sculptures. Coins have been more extensively used as money, so they have had more use and exposure. In every area, I think coins outperform stamps and any other collectible, and I think the size of our collector base is larger for these reasons. In short, I don&#039;t think coins will follow the losing streak of stamps. Of course stamps appeal immensely to some people, and that&#039;s great, but I&#039;m talking in general as most others are I think. Regardless, I&#039;ll be happy accumulating my coins and hunting for deals no matter how many people are doing it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
