<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 55714, member: 3011&quot;]Rickie,</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks.&nbsp; I have a disadvantage that I freely admit -- I&#039;m coming into collecting through the back door; from the investment viewpoint, not the collector&#039;s viewpoint.&nbsp; I bought some silver eagles, maple leafs and rounds.&nbsp; This made me think about the coins I collected as a kid, and I began learning all over again.&nbsp; Coins have a way of pulling you into the hobby like a magnet.&nbsp; I sort of like the gold and silver commems.&nbsp; The modern commems are affordable in high grades, sell reasonably close to the precious metal content, have an interesting variety, and might be more highly thought of in the future than at the present [anyway, that&#039;s my theory].&nbsp; It&#039;s an interesting sideline in a complex hobby, and I need all the help I can get.&nbsp; If something is made of gold or silver, and is low priced due to neglect or unpopularity, I almost feel that it&#039;s my duty to rescue it and give it a good home.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
