Just read a Coin World article about missing State Of Ohio Coins, it leads me to question...........

What forum members (both those who can pay $100,000.00 plus for a coin and those who can't) think about:
1. the idea of playing (buying, owning, selling, brokering, auctioning, consigning) in an area where hunderds of thousands of dollars or more are spent on little round, pretty pieces of metal which do nothing, which produce nothing, which cannot be scientifically/objectively graded, which can be counterfieted; and which can be easily stolen?; and
2. the persons who participate and play in this high dollar area (as a means of making a living, as a hobby, as an investment)?
