<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Detecto92, post: 1778107, member: 75105&quot;]When I switched from collecting USA coins to GB coins, I fell prey to the collecting method I like to call &quot;a whole lot of nothing&quot;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Although I have a few nice coins, I have over 200 coins worth less than $5 each. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However, looking at a few collections from the coin club, and from people&#039;s estate at an auction, I see the same thing for about 80% of the time.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Masses of low value coins.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In fact, I attended an auction once that sold for over 30,000 dollars when it was all said and done. It was just common stuff. No $500 barber dime, no UNC 1909-S VDB, just rolls of common date morgans, buckets of wheats, etc. There was some gold, but average dates and grades. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So I&#039;ve kind of kicked myself for doing this again. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Instead of spending $200 on 100 coins worth $2, I&#039;m going to spend $200 on a really nice coin.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>My question for the forum, have you ever fell victim to this? Or do you just have a small selection of really nice coins?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
