<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JBGood, post: 1945914, member: 38987&quot;]This thread has been most interesting to me. At first I was a bit confused since, upon reflection, I discovered I didn&#039;t have a strategy...at best, I had a loosely defined type strategy. This thread has forced me to clarify my collecting principles (in my own mind). For this I am grateful</p><p><br /></p><p>My coin collecting principles are as such:</p><p>1) eye appeal trumps all. Age and history are interesting but I want coins that I enjoy eyeballing. &quot;Coin porn&quot; is a fitting term for me.</p><p><br /></p><p>2) I collect US coins produced for circulation but only in high grade, mostly by type with an eye toward set completion. I collect US commemoratives. I collect foreign bullion silver coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>3) Gold is wonderful and I love it but I tend to go nuts so this PM is dangerous for me...I consider gold to be &quot;the hard stuff&quot; so I will stick with silver. Gold will be my &quot;investment/inflation hedge stash&quot; and since it tends to suck as this, I will no longer be buying gold.......for now....probably....unless I see something really nice. </p><p><br /></p><p>So there. I now have principles and an emerging strategy. Thanks to all who contributed to this thread![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
