[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 7752715, member: 13307"]As [USER=92655]@Randy Abercrombie[/USER] said, I'm also guessing it's written as a guide to "investment-level" coins as well as gaining an eye for quality. That's one way to collect coins (from a monetary value that increases over time viewpoint.) As others have said, there are other ways to collect. I've personally sort of been using this idea (weeding out my collection to only include gem-grade quality coins) as a way to thin out my collection and keep it more manageable. That doesn't mean I have to always adhere to this principle - it's my collection, so I'll enforce the rules as I see fit and make exceptions when needed. :) I have to say, I find the cover art for the 1987 Hardcover version I found on Amazon pretty hilarious.[/QUOTE]
