[QUOTE="Clavdivs, post: 3242286, member: 93702"]I can't speak for anyone else... but I hate seeing what I paid for a coin on the flip. Don't know if I can express this feeling exactly... I added that info at first but I found it distracting and sort of takes away from my enjoyment when I look at my collection. Firstly I know buying coins is a luxury and not a "need".. so if I see all of these numbers add up I will feel guilty (a bit at a time adds up as we know).. it's how I am ..even on my meager budget. Secondly these coins mean more to me than a number - that is not how I define them. Am I happy to see a coin I own sell for twice the price? Sure.. do I ever expect to sell my coins? Probably not (certainly not for a profit). Is the information useful - maybe.. but not for me... they are only worth what someone is willing to pay - never mind the amount I paid for them. I make the best deal I can when buying.. but all I feel once I own them is pride of ownership, a great sense of history and stewardship for the next owner.[/QUOTE]
