<p>[QUOTE="kountryken, post: 26772124, member: 89798"]You bring up some very good points, things I hadn't even considered, I guess mainly because I don't collect graded coins. I've got a handful that I bought because they were marked down, way down. i.e., "dirt cheap". That's me. I understand your statement that I quoted above. But, that does not apply to me. I could care less what a coin I have is going to sell for in the future. I am truly a "hobby collector". I don't play golf, I don't bowl. Coin collecting is my hobby. If I played golf, I would not expect for there to be more money in my pocket after I played a game of golf. It would cost me money to play, and my enjoyment would be my reward. I look at coin collecting the same way. I collect Coins that I like, or want to complete a collection or set. I will not sell unless times got hard and I was forced to, to put food on the table, etc. So, my "reward" is having it in my collection. Now, my wife would totally agree with you. She would sell it as fast as possible, for as much as she could get, because she had zero interest in coin collecting. Not disagreeing with you, except to point out that I am "one of a kind", I guess. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> Yes Sir, as always, you are right again. And, this time, I'm really sorry that you are.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
