<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 3296429, member: 44357&quot;]I disagree, this would be a very dangerous choice to consider if looking to &quot;invest&quot; in coins. All it takes is a couple more examples of the same type surfacing from some old European collection or being found in a hoard to make your investment worth a fraction of what it was.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most collectors buy and sell pieces every once in a while to make room for new acquisitions or to prune coins that no longer fit. While the proposed thought experiment in the original post is a drastic form of this, there is merit in looking at a collection as not only the final coins but the journey the collector took to get there. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s fair to assume collectors care deeply about the coins they own: if they are willing to sell a large number of their prized coins for a single one, that is an interesting narrative and shows the lengths collectors are willing to go.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
