<p>[QUOTE="Stupidcoinguy, post: 581740, member: 17208"]Well I spent the last 20 minutes reading all your posts, so I believe mine is somewhat original, that is ass-u-ming I didn't skip someones post.......</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>But I have been "Investing" in coins for the last year or so with the intent to make a profit on them.

With that said I am writing about all this to talk about bubbles. The best time as I see it to sell is when the bubble hits. Each coin seems to have it's own little bubble, the 2008 proof definitely seems to be in a bubble right now, and as such I would say sell. The Braille(Don't sell), I think between online articles, forums like this one, and coin pricing magazines, and ebay pricing, you can to some degree decide when it is good to sell a coin. Now I don't buy old coins any more, and that so far has done me well. So really even if you like to collect in old, new, or both, the main idea I want you to think about is when to sell. You wanna wait 50 years to sell your coin, fine, but along the way I would say buy, selling, buying, selling and so on for the next 50 years is a better way to go. When I write this I mostly picture the 401k, for an even mildy experience individual who could sell now and buy back later would have done so years ago..</p><p><br /></p><p>Okay my crazy writings is done.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
