<p>[QUOTE="DMac, post: 2553024, member: 75014"]In my humble opinion, I think some commenters may be mixing apples and oranges in this thread in regards to coin collecting and coin investing. I am a coin collector and know of other collectors that are very passionate about the hobby of coin collecting. They may have a niche that they collect in (ancients, moderns, commemoratives, US silver, etc.) and they study coins in that niche and become very knowledgeable and have built impressive collections. Some have never sold or traded a coin, some only collect circulated coins, and a wide array of other approaches are used by others to build their collections . I know of others that collect out of habit and know very little about the coins they collect. They may have a jar that they put coins of interest in over the years. My point is that collectors will always collect regardless of trends, outliers, or other market influencers. The collectors I have been privileged to know could care less which "way" their hobby may be trending but they do remain passionate about their hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
