<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rono, post: 2652376, member: 6492&quot;]Hi mellow,</p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;ve received some great advice.&nbsp; All I would add is that you should collect what you like.&nbsp;&nbsp; Is coin collecting a form of investing?&nbsp; It can be if you&#039;re willing to invest the time and effort.&nbsp; It&#039;s not unlike making money in the stock market.&nbsp; Sure you can make money but you have to do your homework and it&#039;s not easy. </p><p><br /></p><p>Try not to sell in order to buy.&nbsp; The vigorish will kill you.&nbsp; With stocks, it might cost you $7.&nbsp; With selling a coin, you&#039;re being paid wholesale and having to turn around and pay retail.&nbsp; The vig is ~20% or so.&nbsp; Ouch!</p><p><br /></p><p>But as I said, what it most important is for you to go after something you like and are interested in.&nbsp; That way it&#039;s easy to study and learn about it.&nbsp; Cripes, I stack odds and sods bullion, ASE&#039;s AGE&#039;s, silver crowns (old and new), etc.&nbsp; You could call that hoarding.&nbsp; I also have a nice set of cents and nickels with the keys slabbed.&nbsp; For example, I&#039;ve always liked the V nickels.&nbsp; They are not a market darling but feh.&nbsp; I like them and have completed them AU grade.&nbsp; Same with the indian cents.&nbsp; You can call this collecting.&nbsp; Hoarding bullion vs. collecting coins.&nbsp; They are not the same by a long shot BUT they can overlap.&nbsp;&nbsp; You&#039;re the one that decides and you&#039;re the only one that needs to be happy. </p><p><br /></p><p>and so it goes,</p><p><br /></p><p>peace,</p><p><br /></p><p>rono[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
