<p>[QUOTE="saltysam-1, post: 2422583, member: 23368"]I feel if I break even with my collectables, I did well. Some will go up and others down. Because of this, I have set a limit on my collectable currency purchases. I have reached it and will now sell some of the completed sets in order to start others. It's a practical and flexible line, not a rigid one. I enjoy the chase and the find of a note or coin, but it doesn't need to be a rarity. I'll keep one or two from a set I am about to sell, as a keepsake. I photograph ever one I buy to have and provide reference for others. I too gave up on our government's modern and commemoratives. I collect the classic U.S. coins, large sized paper currency and a few small ones. I also found some substantial gains in exonumia, but you need to keep current on unique collectables. I have bought and sold exonumia such as tokens, medals, casino chips, money banks, cash registers, dies, items from well known fairs, fantasy pieces, unusual serial numbers, fractional currency, jewelry based on a currency theme, repousse coins, and engravings. I'm sure I missed a few items here, but if you know what your doing, there is gold in them there hills! :>)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
