<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1997554, member: 26302&quot;]Buy quality coins when they are available. I have been collecting coins long enough to have seen periods in which nice quality coins were available reasonably, only to have them disappear from the marketplace and appreciate considerably. Nice VF/XF post reform Tetrarchy&nbsp; used to be available in quantity for $10-20 a coin. Now they are asking $100 for them, if they can be found. Other examples are too numerous to list. I state prices only because it affects my ability to buy more, as I do not have unlimited funds.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, for my hobby, I look around and try to buy what I can buy today, knowing nice coins do not stay on the market in quantity forever. I agree with others that financial assets are for investing, coins are for your hobby. That does not mean, though, that you cannot put away a few extras of nice coins today for &quot;future hobby use&quot;. Trust me, I use this excuse a lot, buying coins I do not collect today and squirrel them away for the future when I might want to collect them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
