<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ajm229, post: 60785, member: 3350&quot;]Okay, maybe I&#039;m just odd, but I turn to a specific book every time one of these kinds of questions approaches me....</p><p><br /></p><p>FROM WEBSTER&#039;S NEW COLLEGIATE DICTIONARY:</p><p>collection: (n) 1. the act or process of collecting 2. something collected ESP. AN ACCUMULATION OF OBJECTS GATHERED FOR STUDY, COMPARISON, OR EXHIBITION. </p><p><br /></p><p>Therefore, I would have to say that by definition, any collection is just a mass accumulation of objects. No limit has to be placed on it, unless you want it to. Heck, every time I come across a non-USA coin, I first look up its potential value, and if it&#039;s common, I throw it into a big bucket. I actually need to get a new bucket because I filled the first one up.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some people specifically collect one type of coin (Morgan Dollars, or Jefferson Nickels), some collect by years (mine is 1900-2000, all denominations), and some collect by mintmark or by other characteristics, like all holed coins or all toned coins. All of these are self-imposed limitations on one&#039;s collection. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you want to just collect all the interesting coins you can find, go for it! I think all collectors do, and then they just sell or give away the ones they don&#039;t need for their collections! Just keep doing what you&#039;re doing, and later on, you&#039;ll have a GREAT collection for others to see!</p><p><br /></p><p>~AJ[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
