<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 1984309, member: 71723&quot;]Actually, the correctly stated feeling I have when people don&#039;t agree with me is &quot;abject sadness about their utter ignorance or misinformed status&quot;. Get it right, please.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do I collect? Wow, it is an eclectic mix of stuff. I&#039;ll throw out a quick off the top of my head list, but I know it will be missing some. What I collect depends on what&#039;s fashionably hot at any given time. If it&#039;s hot and fashionable, I stay away from it like the plague. I collect what seemingly no one wants at any point in time. Right now, I&#039;m into higher grade large cents, 2 centers, nickel 3&#039;s, VF-XF rarer Buffalos, nothing silver right now unless its price is disconnected from bullion, such as fully BU Walkers and Standers. You couldn&#039;t get me to buy bullion price affected gold or silver right now if you paid me to. I also am working on high quality Swiss 2 rappen, brass British three pence, older silver three pence, and ha&#039;pennies. Full British pre-decimal pennies are too hot, so I stay away. When &quot;nobody&quot; cares about them, then I&#039;ll start up again. I buy every U.S. modern commem that &quot;nobody&quot; wants, and avoid all of them that people are waiting in line to buy. The one exception to my general contrarian rule is I like to buy, usually UNslabbed, cameo proofs from the 1950-1970 era.</p><p><br /></p><p>My general rule is buy the highest quality, regardless if the series is hot or not. And NEVER NEVER NEVER buy anything just to fill an empty hole in an album. Better to let the hole empty than fill it with an inferior coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Am I an elitist? No, I just work toward being one. I love elitism. It&#039;s what I aspire to. I feel it is what is worth doing. I also feel my government should AFFLICT elitists. I long for the day when I pay confiscatory taxes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
