Message:: [QUOTE="Harryj, post: 431398, member: 14623"]Regarding Coins, What type of person are you? Keep in mind, there are varying degrees of each type.  Accumulator- Type of person who saves coins randomly without any plan or intention. They have some of the qualities of collectors and investors, but to a lesser extent. An accumulator is likely to have jars, cans or bowls filled with coins arranged in no particular order. There’s a good chance the accumulator doesn’t have a good idea of the value of his or her coins. Accumulator/Collector- A more organized version of the accumulator but not as serious as a collector. Collector- A collector purchases coins with no concern for making profit and would never consider selling their coins. A collector would be sometimes willing to pay more than the coin is worth. Collectors are interested in complete sets and type sets of coins usually in the best condition they can afford. A collector is not interested in making money, and appreciates the beauty of coins. Investor- The investor is all about making money, he or she pays close attention to interest rates, inflation, the economy and values of coins. Investors are mainly concerned with profit and not the beauty and history of coins.  Collector/Investor- The collector/investor not only appreciates the beauty of coins, but will make a profit if the opportunity arises. They represent the happy medium between collectors and investors. Harry[/QUOTE]
