<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Optimistic Voices, post: 2481975, member: 79842&quot;]I am a new collector (3years).&nbsp; I love coins, all type of coins for different reasons. I have no idea what kind of collector I am and have no direction as far as my collection goes.&nbsp; I don&#039;t collect coins as a &quot;investment&quot; but I am hung up on the idea that my collection should appreciate over the next 20 years or at least hold its value for it to be a &quot;quality&quot; collection so to speak.</p><p>I&#039;m not interested in die marriages, varieties die cracks etc.&nbsp; I am drawn by the craftsmanship, history and beauty of coins (especially toned coins)</p><p>I like Washingtons, Mercury Dimes, proof Ike Dollars, Buffalos, early half dollars, early cents, even proof 70 modern coins, I recently purchased a Flowing Hair Dollar.&nbsp; I only buy slabed coins.</p><p>I buy what ever catches my eye and Im not patient enough to build a set. I would rather buy lots of different coins than the same design with different dates.&nbsp; I generally spend $75 to $300 per coin but as high as $2,500.</p><p>Any comments about my collection appreciating in value based on the above?</p><p>Any suggestions or advice?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
