<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 326911, member: 4626&quot;]Count me as part of the minority then lol.&nbsp; Even if every coin in my collection became worthless tomorrow I&#039;d still have a collection of coins I&#039;m happy with.&nbsp; If anything I&#039;d honestly be happier if gold and silver came down to make buying coins containing them cheaper.&nbsp; Don&#039;t want to turn this thread into an anti-TPG rant lol but one of the reasons I&#039;d be happy to see them go away is it would cause coin prices to drop as investors who don&#039;t know enough about coins to judge condition would be scared away from the coin market, thus lowering demand and ensuring real collectors would have a cheaper and easier time of getting their hands on the coins without having to compete against people who see them as nothing more than a commodity to speculate upon.</p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;re entitled to your opinion but I&#039;d be curious to know the basis of it.&nbsp; Are there really that few coin collectors who truly desire to collect coins for its own sake?&nbsp; Have you read surveys or polls that say so?&nbsp; Or are many people who attempt to invest in coins lumped in with &quot;collectors&quot; when they really have little or no interest in the actual hobby?&nbsp; I have nothing morethan anecdotal evidence myself as my social circle contains collectors and no investors so I have no way to assert anything one way or the other in this regard, but I&#039;d be curious as to see what the bigger picture looks like, if anyone has some solid facts to show what it actually is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
