<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1657156, member: 26302&quot;]I don&#039;t disagree at all. </p><p><br /></p><p>However, there is a difference. Someone who collects very nice examples is much more likely to see appreciation of his collection than those of us who collect &quot;lesser coins&quot;. Doug Smith has a wonderful story about this on his website. Its completely true. However, I simply am willing to give up that part of the &quot;hobby&quot; in return for having more coins to study. I would not be as happy with one superb Sassanian coin instead of having 10 nice ones. If I could afford 50 superb Sassanians that would be terrific, but I can&#039;t, so would rather own 50 nice ones than 5 or 10 superb ones. </p><p><br /></p><p>It depends on what makes you happy is all. Coins make me happy, not potential price appreciation, so I collect what gives me pleasure and don&#039;t worry about the investing part of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am still hoping my young son or unborn son/daughter will get the bug from dad and I will never need to sell any of these anyway.I was kind of hoping Doug Smith would adopt me so he would have someone to leave his coins to. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
