[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1422049, member: 26302"]Jason, if you disagree with that quote, "coins are not good investments", then I would say one of two things: 1. You are a dealer and can buy cheaply and sell at retail. That is about the only circumstance that would change that quote. or 2. At some point you are going to become disappointed when calculating your ROI from collector coins. Except for some unusual timeframes, its rare for a coin bought at retail and sold later on to come anywhere close to real investment returns. You simply do not need to believe us, many new collectors don't, but I am afraid at some point in the future that cold hard fact will slap you across the face. :( Chris P.S. My favorite quote btw is "buy the book before the coin", not that I think that has to be followed exactly, but I love how it emphasizes education as an integral part of this hobby.[/QUOTE]
