Here is a crazy question: Does anyone know if Bill Gates collects or invests in coins?

I imagine there wouldn't be much challenge to it at that point but I was just curious if anyone knew?

I don't know if he does or not, but I think there would still be a challenge. It might be easier if you didn't have to worry about price, but putting together a well-matched collection could still take some effort.

Yes, I've dabbled a bit since founding Microsoft. Why do you ask?

I would love to see the auction where Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and the Walton family decide to bid on a rare coin. Especially if I owned the coin hehe.

I don't know about Gates, but wealth doesn't prevent a person from making the hobby as challenging as he likes. Even Bill Gates would have trouble putting together a superb collection of Bust Quarters by die variety. Especially if he demanded fair value. After all, nobody likes to feel like a dupe, even if he can afford paying any price.

Bill Gate's property taxes on his house are 660 K per year !
and that was 5-10 yrs ago !

Bingo. Or how about early dollars? Do you really think the Pogues are gonna part with their nice stuff just to satisfy ol' Bill?

Certainly a lot of coins would be available for him to buy, but a lot wouldn't. There'd be plenty of challenge....

I guess by challenge I meant financially. I know there are many coins that are hard to fins no matter what the money in your pocket looks like.
