[QUOTE="Detecto92, post: 1384086, member: 75105"]Although my mom sometimes complains that I "waste money" on coins, this is how I look at it. I operate on 3 levels. 1. [B]Coins I buy to sell.[/B] This is usually junk silver, or coins I don't like that I got cheap and can make a few bucks on them. 2.[B] Coins I buy that if I have to, I will sell. [/B]I kind of like to call this my "emergency collection". Although I would normally not sell it, if some kind of emergency happened where I needed the money, then I would sell it. 3. [B]Coins that you will have pry out of my cold, dead hand. [/B]These I buy to keep, and for a very long time. I will probably pass them down to my future children. If I have $1,000 in cash, then I just have a bunch of paper bills sitting in a pile. Big whoop, how boring. Instead I use that money to buy coins with. I would rather have $1,000 in nice coins to look at then a $1,000 in paper bills.[/QUOTE]
