<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 1636023, member: 4626"]Have always wondered why so many here assume one has anything to do with the other. I'm sure there are many coin collectors who also like silver as an investment but for me at least my interest in coins has nothing to do with what I perceive as their investment potential. I collect coins because I am interested in coins, not because I see them as potential investments. If all my coins became worthless tomorrow I still have a collection of coins I like owning because I find them interesting for their own sake.</p><p><br /></p><p>I suppose silver and gold are OK investments, they've been a pretty decent long term store of value and a pretty good hedge against inflation, but I don't have a crystal ball and if you want to know what gold or silver will be worth in 20 years, 10 years, or tomorrow, your guess is as good as mine. I'm not planning on selling any of my coins to retire off of; if anything I hope to save up enough for retirement so I can buy more. What they'll be worth in the future will be my heir's problem as I have no definite plans to sell off any of my collection while I'm still alive, if I can help it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
