<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1845167, member: 26302"]Just as a response, I would say I said to educate yourself on the market to avoid overpaying, (unless you intentioanlly wish to do so). I talked about leaving the coins to my family, but never said I do not have typed instructions in the SDB on which dealers to send US coins/ancient coins/books to. So yes, of course be prudent and leave loved ones advice. I simply like to say collect for your pleasure to get people to realize they ARE going to lose monetarily most likely coin collecting, like most hobbies. We might have a better "residual" than some other hobbies, but its a money losing game for most of us, and we need to remember that. The "investment" aspect of coin collecting 99.9% of the time I view as salesman puffery trying to get people to spend more than they can afford on a coin with the lure that its a good purchase for your heirs. Its not, its for YOU, for YOUR pleasure, so any purchase should be justified as such.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
