[QUOTE="andrew289, post: 160286, member: 6463"]If you buy the coin because you need it for a set or want to collect it who cares how rare or how much it will gain in value? Coins are not an investment. I think the coin collecting/investment mentality has become skewed. People collect coins for the love of the hobby. If you think you are going to get rich quick, the lottery would be a better place to waste your time and money. Buy the silver unc or the gold unc...it will be definately be worth more later. If you are worried about how much more?...now THAT sounds greedy. Buy the coin not the holder...buying on speculation is not coin collecting in my opinion. I'm buying all the gold uncs that I can afford because it's a wonderful coin and there won't be that many made. Over the past several weeks, I've heard endless bitter bitter rants from "collectors" who thought that were going to get rich quick and ended up with a big dose of reality. I have not heard any complaints that the coins sucked. All I hear is darn, they more thanI thought. They are beautiful coins and I for one am thankful that they made them in the first place. If I make more in a few years, if I sell them all the better. It's rediculous when the pot calls the kettle black.[/QUOTE]
