<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrweaseluv, post: 21352549, member: 40340&quot;]wow, I can say lots and lots of great advice there... but I&#039;ll add my 2 cents as my situation is very very similar to yours... I have collected for many years but only in the last few years have I really had a &quot;budget&quot; to buy coins on a regular basis. Mostly I avoid the whole &quot;investment&quot; BS.. I do this for MY enjoyment and don&#039;t give a rats patootie what my kids end up doing with it when i&#039;m gone...</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes I tend to buy better coins now even 1-2 of those 4 digit price tag coins.</p><p>Mostly though I stick to coins in the 100 and under range... that means some beautiful MS70s and very high grade coins and for the bigger price tag coins lower grades or ... Oh no... &quot;Details&quot; coins...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes I want those big 2-4k dble eagles but a few of those worth more then my entire collection (small gold included lol) and I wouldn&#039;t feel safe keeping them in the house, so why bother, That&#039;s how I see it</p><p><br /></p><p>even keeping to this budget, yes my collect does have considerable value now, but as i tell my woman it is NOT an investment it is a hobby, now go play with &quot;your&quot; pretty shiny things <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I have a dog, a safe, several large guns, good insurance (coin rider) and the house is unoccupied less then 10hrs a month (sometimes for several months&nbsp; never empty... we homebodies and unless she has a Dr&#039;s appt she seldom leaves the yard... oh and she&#039;s a better shot them i am with a handgun lol)</p><p><br /></p><p>all in all, keeping most of my purchases in that price range means even if I do get stuck with a &quot;fake&quot; 100 bucks ain&#039;t gonna kill me... and if it is one of those &quot;big&quot; price tag coins stick with sellers i trust to know better them me <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.&nbsp; I buy what I like now and if my kids turn a profit in years to come.. good for them, I got my moneys worth out of em while i was still alive and kicking <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
