<p>[QUOTE="BUBAGS, post: 804749, member: 20080"]I have been collecting coins since 1974. I am certainly no expert but NEVER EVER buy coins thinking they are an investment! Hugh folly!! It is a hobby. Not an investment. Dealers never pay anywhere near what you paid for something. Thank God Ebay has helped the little guy by allowing him or her the chance to re coup more by being able to sell closer to the retail price. I have seen many people leave the hobby for good once they sell. That's they day they discover they usually have overpaid for overgraded coins. PCGS and slabbed only increase your cost and make others money. My suggestion is Diversity. Stocks,cash,coins antiques art real estate etc. Best of luck to you. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Steve</p><p>Collector/Hobbyist since 1974</p><p>P.S Please be sure to join the ANA[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
