<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4002291, member: 19463"]It is easier for me. I collect coins that were made to be spent in their economy and only became collectible at a later time. I suppose I would make a few exceptions like the Trajan restoration issues but I do not collect NCLT or medals to facilitate buying bullion. In my life time I have spent and removed from circulation a few old US commemorative halves but those were special cases where unsold coins were dumped on the market or people who bought them spent them. For the most part, if it never was spent at face value, I don't collect it (unless it is a thousand years old).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
