<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 915421, member: 66&quot;]If you collect long enough you get a big collection.&nbsp; And if you seriousy love the coins for themselves, and their history and stories,&nbsp; I think you eventually get to the point you don&#039;t care if you make or lose money.&nbsp; That isn&#039;t the point of collecting them.&nbsp; I&#039;ve collected for a long time.&nbsp; If my collection were sold it would bring a significant figure.&nbsp; Would I make money?&nbsp; Would I lose?&nbsp; I don&#039; know and I don&#039;t care.&nbsp; As I look at it, if you place a value on all the time I have enjoyed spend time with and working on my collection, the return on my investment has been ENORMOUS, even if it is a monitary loss.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not worried about where the &quot;replacements&quot; are.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been actively collecting for almost 40 years now.&nbsp; Memberships in the local clubs I attend has NOT declined over that time period, and some of the clubs are larger now than they were back then.&nbsp; and the interesting thing is over that nearly forty year span, the average age of the membership has NOT significantly changed (an increase of less than one year)&nbsp; As was mentioned earlier, the average age of the ANA membership has not changed either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
