<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 984883, member: 10103&quot;]First off, welcome to the forum.&nbsp; There is a wealth of information on this site and if you do a little reading you will increase your knowledge in the &#039;hobby of kings&#039;.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As for investment, I&#039;m sure Dad put away some beautiful pieces in that collection if he intended that you use the proceeds to supplement your retirement.&nbsp; The general consensus in this forum is that coin collecting isn&#039;t an investment but rather an enjoyment.&nbsp; Sure, everyone collects with the thought that their collection (hopefully) will increase in value down the road but there&#039;s just too many dang variables to assure that.&nbsp; If you&#039;re worried about Chinese counterfeits then I would suggest that you send some of your more valuable pieces into one of the major TPG&#039;er services to assure authenticity.</p><p>As to the younger generation....wait till you&#039;re around in these parts for a spell.&nbsp; There are quite a few YN&#039;s on this forum and they are really top notch collectors.&nbsp; I&#039;m truly amazed at the knowledge they possess.&nbsp; They can run rings around me.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
