<p>[QUOTE="LostDutchman, post: 694317, member: 16994"]I think this is where the similarities end. Stocks for the most part have one set price. Coins have many different prices for the exact same item. This price is not a price that is published in stone anywhere just different people opinions of what the selling price SHOULD be. The pricing is in the hands of the seller of the piece. The market itself decides the prices of a coin. If a coin is overpriced, it will not sell and the owner will keep it until he decides to take a loss or the market makes his asking price more acceptable. If a coin is under priced it will sell quickly and be off the market only to be put back on the market at a higher price usually. </p><p><br /></p><p>Long term, Yes coins can be a decent investment IF you buy the right stuff. Short term it reminds me of a television commercial where a man is at a live auction and he buys a painting and then wants to turn around and sell it right away at the same auction... It just doesn't make much sense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
