Poll Question
So OK ; you have a method to your collecting madness ?

But WHY ? what is your motivator to go out and do little or work like a dog while you most likely juggle and manage real life bills ?

Please post your rationales and explanations below to clarify your thinking or motivations of hat you feel the future might hold ! ! !

Poll Choices
 i just love collecting
 my items are personal to me and nothing else matters
 i want a savings plan outside of traditional markets
 i want to provide for my on retirement
 i want a self funded early retirement; this is my best way
 i want to provide for my kids future
 i aim to give my kids nest egg ; financial head start
 this is my kids educational fund
 if the fiat currency breaks down I want a self funded option
 selfish own retirement self funding ; the kids can make their own way
 all this is for my kids to decide to hoard sell for their on future
 i want to preserve these items for the future of humanity
 i am going to flip for an ongoing profit and make hobby money
 i am going to start up an online business for self profit
 i suck at budgeting and need a way to enforce personal restricted savings

to me, personally ; I am NOT happy

It is ; maybe to others , but to me its an issue ;)

silver is just junk,(opinion) its a reactive metal and always going to go off-colour and tarnish...

And Platinum just looks like dull Silver so who would want it , LoL.

but , gold is just pure beauty !

So why does mint state = MS look so much " Less " than ' proof ' gold ?

Life as we all know as never meant to be easy , but reflective proof gold coins are just so much harder to obtain than just pure mint state .9999 gold . . .

Truly Life was never meant to be this unfair.
