<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3583862, member: 76194&quot;]That shirt is right. After years and years of collecting, the value of my collection has slowly increased from a few hundred bucks initially to now approaching $20,000. Though I will admit I&#039;ve never spent that much on the collection as most of my pieces were bought as budget opportunities at auctions or from dealers where I had the chance to get a coin at 60% or 70% of market price (hence why I&#039;m a member of the &quot;Bottom Feeders club&quot;) <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I&#039;m seldom the type of person to spend full retail or above retail on any coin. I&#039;ve done it, buy it&#039;s just not my style.</p><p><br /></p><p>At any rate, the point is that if I had to cough up all that money in cash right now, without having to sell my property or tap into my retirement account, I couldn&#039;t. So in a sense I have way more money in coins than cash on hand (without touching my property or investments). I suppose that will happen to most middle class collectors eventually if they collect for long enough.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
