Poll- When buying a coin

OK, ya'all probably getting tired of my polls, but I like to see what everyone is saying.:loud:

For me, because I just want it.

 

Why is it that the "just want it" coins usually turn out to be the real winners a decade later?

 

It all comes down to eye appeal.

 

My vote is in!! (GIVE IT TO ME!!)

 

Because I want it!

 

No doubt...just want it. TC

 

I can see this crowd is tilting a certain way. I hope the poll is still active when the other crowd gets home and responds to the question. This crown evidently has no holes and I know a bunch of the collectors are collecting that way...me for example. Anyhow the more that answer the more dispersed the results.

 

Well, I didn't vote because I buy for all the reasons except "To resell for profit" I sometimes need a hole filler, I continually upgrade my collections, and sometimes just because I like it.

 

If it catches my fancy I might buy it if the price is right. So put me down for the 'I just want it' crowd. Also it would have to fill a hole but the way I collect is I look to buy an example of every coin ever made so it will always fill a hole.

 

I am on a mission filling in those holes with coins I like.

 

I too did not vote, my reasons are pretty much evenly spread among the choices.

 

Well - I voted cause if I did not want it, then I would not buy it. So that makes the other three answers moot. As it is - spread across all 4, but less towards 2.

 

I voted #1 but I could have also voted #3 or #4

It all depends on my needs, the coin, and my budget.

 

I would say choice 1 and 3. Choice 4 can only happen after the fact. Choice 2 is for investors, I am a collector.

 

Well, I don't think the poll really fits my collecting angle. I am now a cherry picker, as my date set is complete. I hunt down all the small varietys. I buy Large cents if they are cheap, I buy them if they have a variety I don't have, heck, I even buy them if they have a variety I do have. The more the merrier... right?
I'm slowly pushing into the hoarding rather then selling of my large cents. Before I would sell doubles and use the money to buy more I need. I am now pushing into the hoarding mode and just keeping them all. I have now filled two boxes with them and I hope to fill many more.
So my vote would be under:

• Because it's cheap, a variety, a hole filler, or I just want it.

 

I want it , gotta have it, gimme it now....well I guess my choice is just want it, I want 'em all!

 

I just want it... pretty much all the above, not so much as #2, but it could happen...

 

All the above for me.

 

So far, all I have done is roll searching but when I do start buying. it will be to complete my seta of Lincolns
