[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 4616219, member: 15588"]There are coins I could possibly afford, but that I would never shell out the money for. For instance, I would love to have a 35.06mm sized Meiji-era 20 Yen dragon gold piece. But is it worth shelling out around 5 million Yen, or around $46,000 for a decent example? Never. I wouldn't even consider spending that much on [I]any[/I] single coin no matter how much I liked it. I would be too nervous to own it, I would likely have to hide it away in a vault or a safe and rarely see it. I would also probably be too afraid to show it to [I]anyone[/I]. I may not even ever [I]tell[/I] anyone that I have it. Owning something so valuable would make me live in fear. That sounds like about as much fun as sitting on a railroad spike.
