<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 64200, member: 3011"]One other thing. As you search this site and others, you'll probably notice that the numismatic world is fairly complicated, and populated by very intelligent people who have been at it a long time. So you must be either willing to put in quite a bit of time yourself to get up to speed [and Speedy <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ], or keep things simple. The simple way is with bullion coins purchased near intrinsic value, which is why I recommended it based on your comments. If you want to dive more deeply into the hobby aspect of it in addition to the investment aspect, that's great! It's a great hobby. Just keep in mind that coins might not be the best investment vehicle in the world, then again, they might. Nobody knows for sure. In my opinion [not to be confused with fact], coins are a better investment than some hobbyists realize as long as they are collected and held for the long term, not traded. It's sort of a being too close to the forest to see the trees sort of thing I guess.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
