<p>[QUOTE="crystalk64, post: 35347, member: 1873"]I collect for the love of the hobby, the art and the history. As I grew older I found the investment side of this hobby and decided saving my money through the hobby made a tremendous amount of sense as I was already in the hobby and it put me in full control of buying and selling. Basically everything I have done in the last 10 years through the banks, stocks and 401k made someone else wealthy and in the end I lost. NOT so in my silver and gold. One must learn to be patient, study the books, learn to buy smart and KNOW when to sell. It is all one big gamble, just as every day life, but in this hobby YOU are the CEO! Just yesterday I reached an agreement of a rare foreign coin (modern) for a very modest price and have been offered ten times my investment within 24 hours and I don't even have the coin in my possession yet! I could not do it without the BOOKS on world coins. Invest in the guides and catalogs if you are going to put your hard earned money in to this hobby. And, most of all, for whatever reason you collect, learn to ENJOY it for YOUR own reasons. You be the boss and collect for only yourself! It can't get any better than that![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
