<p>[QUOTE=&quot;joecoincollect, post: 2416489, member: 71338&quot;]Collecting coins reminds me of being younger when I desired toys or videogames. The enthusiasm and interest is the same. It&#039;s wonderful to be so fascinated and fulfilled with a hobby. As far as investments, it&#039;s definitely goes with coins because overall the hobby retains interest and value through all the years. I sometimes show people my coins and although it doesn&#039;t pique their interest much, I sense a little jealousy because they know I have a great hobby and it&#039;s not even remotely the same as collecting baseball cards, toys, or other things you can throw your money into. There&#039;s a coin shop next to me that has been there for 30-40 yrs and they have always paid fair prices. Where are the beanie baby collectors or baseball card shops buying your collectible today? </p><p><br /></p><p>Although investment is tied up with coins, I also don&#039;t collect for this sole purpose or primarily for it. To make a living, let alone a nice profit, from coins requires the huge commitment that dealers have to the hobby. I don&#039;t want that. Sometimes I win big, more often I break even or lose. The outlier collectors who win big and are not dealers have probably held their coins for decades and had much capital to begin with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
