<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 327979, member: 4626"]Well there's at least one other person like you lol... I don't in any way see my coins as an investment because the only way I'll ever see a cent of profit on any of them is if I sell them, and I have no intention of doing that. If coin values tanked it would just mean i could afford more coins. If after I die whoever inherits my collection wants to sell it for big bucks, more power to them, doesn't mean anything to me at that point lol... as for me as long as I'm still alive I'm holding on to everything I put in my collection, whether it's worth a fortune or absolutely nothing.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, I'm not sure what the basis of "most" is... I haven't seen any surveys or polls that actually show that most "collectors" feel a certain way... like BigsWick I can only speak for myself and the handful of collectors I know and if anything more of the people I know have my attitute towards collecting than not. That's only anecdotal evidence of course, nothing scientific... but I'm curious if anyone has seen a scientific poll or survey that actually proves or at least suggests that collectors as a whole tend to have a given attitute or another? Anyone? Or is this really just a guess?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
