<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oval_man, post: 2718510, member: 22602&quot;]I like your positive attitude: we all tend to share it. We all like the potential of making a little profit from our hobby.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I posted my example as a sobering response to the very attitude you&#039;re expressing. These purchases were &quot;done right&quot;: bought from reputable dealers at coins shows for, in most cases, 5 or 10% back of grey sheet bid. They are all very attractive coins. You really can&#039;t have a better &quot;fighting chance&quot; than that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d say the important factor in my example is that these low-end Morgans are not &quot;collector coins.&quot; They are ubiquitous. I have no regrets in owning them and, selling them in a soft market, wasn&#039;t expecting to make a profit.</p><p><br /></p><p>A good book that discusses the threshold between common and collector coins is Scott Travers&#039; The Coin Collector&#039;s Survival Manual.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
