<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2519788, member: 19463&quot;]This is the point - we all like it our way.&nbsp; Those who collect for fun can make up their own rules and get a lot of enjoyment out of their coins.&nbsp; Those whose hobby is not coins but profiting from chasing the current fads will gain enjoyment if they guess right and hate the hobby if the guess wrong.&nbsp; My personal rules require I only buy coins that really are coins and really were spendable at some point in time.&nbsp; My most recent purchase&#039;s time was c.500 BC and cost less than half yours.&nbsp; In a hundred years we will both be dead and someone else will own our prizes.&nbsp; Meanwhile, I intend to enjoy my unpopular purchases as much as I can and not care in the least whether my grandson gets 20% or 2000% of the issue price.&nbsp; If you tire of chasing the fads set by investors, search Coin Talk and find the areas that cater to those interested more in the metal contents than in the plastic containers.&nbsp; We are here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
