Has anyone come to the realization, that your coin collection, is just.......

MONEY?

adamlaneus

I have come to the realization that, at one time, my collection WAS money.

Not entirely clear if it is money now.

LindeDad

Maybe less money now.......

LOL. Good one!

I know your question is sincere, Bear. But you'll get some funny replies. Like "Yup. In fact, most of my coins have a money value right on them."

Like owning a face value 5 cent piece, but yet worth 3 mil?

Hold on let me check

Or maybe your coin collection has been in someone elses pocket.

I like to think I collect art/history as opposed to money.

What did you think it was? Have you discovered you were caught up in a numismatic mania or some sort of mystical numismatica?

Is bullion money?

Bear, you sound like my wife. Her most repeated line goes something like, "You spent $125 for a quarter??"

I thought you were going to say, "that your collection, is just pretty average compared to some of the coins one might see, for example, at the Baltimore show?"

It is just fascinating, pretty and even beautiful old money.

Good analogy Pete. My wife used to be "understanding" and "accepting" of my hobby/compuslive obsession, until she asked "Why the he11 did you spend $700 on a quarter?" My interpretation is that $90 bucks is OK, but $700 bucks is not acceptable.

Yah, but it's cooler money than what's circulating currently!

pakasmom

The coins I buy are (mostly) just money. The coins I inherited are........................... priceless.

Yes, AND we have to pay tax on top of it

Not if it's recently made in China and you haven't found that out yet...

Just money?

Most of mine is "just bullion", and a few of those copper large cent thingys.
