Home U.S. Coin Forum

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)?

    I buy coins because I love coins. The fact I sometimes do well on them financially is an extra added bonus.

    I think it's not for everybody, but I like it.
