<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cwtokenman, post: 620126, member: 2100&quot;]I did not read all of the replies, so please excuse me if this viewpoint was already brought out. I think the OP&#039;s questions leans towards asking if someone would choose to be a collector or an investor. IMO, a true collector would not be satisfied owning a single valuable coin, where as an investor certainly could be. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t feel enjoyment from collecting is necessarily tied to the dollar value of the collection. I don&#039;t think I ever enjoyed the hobby more than when I first started collecting as a young lad, pulling all of my coins from circulation (even coins from the latter 1800s could be found). Those coins were not high grade, and I made my own &quot;folders&quot; from cutting up cardboard boxes. I have much more interest in the related history and background of each piece than I do in owning something based primarily on its value. But, to each their own and what ever would make them happy. While I can certainly appreciate quality, my vote goes to quantity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
