<p>[QUOTE="rob2753020, post: 837035, member: 22798"]I feel like an island in the forum but feel confident in what I do. I just wish that older coin collectors weren't so snarky. Everyday there are more and more modern day coin collectors and every day the older coin collectors like to make fun of them but the modern bullion collectors are the only ones that I know, that are making money so they can buy more coins. "I'm a collector first and then I sell to buy more coins." That seems to be the modern bullion collectors motto. Whereas the older collectors just collect. They take a chunk of their paycheck and buy a coin to help fill their set/s. I am selling bunch of 2009 UHR MS70PL at a $2k profit so I can buy more ASEs. I think that might be the difference. I started out collecting old coins but lost interest because of the price tag. It got really expensive, really fast and was not easily sellable. The best grades costs $100,000 or more. Way out of my price range. </p><p><br /></p><p>I'm realizing that there are two religions in coin collecting and the belief systems are completely different too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
