<p>[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 2460543, member: 59737"]Great advice and I agree that the trading up thing rarely goes in the favor of the buyer (at least not for me and my limited expertise). I keep a pretty tight monthly coin budget ($50/month) so I end up saving for quite a few months before I buy a coin for my US Type Set. I've yet to go to a dealer's shop and find a coin that I wanted because it took so long to save the money up, I wasn't willing to part with it for anything that didn't stand out to me. I get pretty antsy from time to time but the wait is worth it. My Type Set is going to be a lifelong project and hopefully I'll get to increase my coin budget over time to help chase those older coins. I have a lot of coins in my collection that I don't need but couldn't get the money out of them if I squeezed them in a vice. I'll figure out what to do with them eventually.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
