Message:: [QUOTE="900fine, post: 358303, member: 6036"]One coin at at time. One day at a time. I know how you feel, bluenose. At times like this, I just remind myself of another idea I learned here on CT : a collection is whatever you call a collection. Never feel compelled to get every date, mint, variety, and micro-sub-variety unless you are genuinely interested. Never feel pressured by anyone* to have a "closure drive" to complete any set. Just pick a theme and go. Relax. Enjoy. You said "why not collect dollars of all types ?". That could lead to some anxiety when you look at price tags of Flowing Hairs (1794 - 1795), so just collect a few moderns and roll on. When you feel comfortable (and have the cash and knowledge), you can move to the older issues. All that stuff about having to buy two mint sets - oh, and proofs as well - not true. You don't have to do anything. You can get your $1 coins as singles; no need to buy mint / proof sets. No need to get silver and clad. Whatever you like at the time. One coin at at time. One day at a time. Happy hunting !  * I've never felt prressured here on CT[/QUOTE]
