[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3283468, member: 10461"]I think wise collectors follow their own passions, without letting others counsel them too much on what is collectible and what is not. [I] Unless[/I] you're keeping the eventual resale of the coins in the back of your mind. [I]Then[/I] one is perhaps better listening to advice like that. But if it's to be yours to have and to hold and enjoy for the rest of your days, then [I]you[/I] decide what is right for you. Mind you, I'm not totally brushing off the question, and sure, I think I understand some of what you're asking. Certainly feedback from others is very important. It's what sites like this are [I]for[/I]. I don't mean to minimize that. I enjoy feedback from fellow collectors sometimes. [I]Often[/I], actually. Aw, who are we kidding- I practically [I]live[/I] for it. But I also try to follow my own counsel as much as possible, even when striking out into somewhat less-known-territory. I let others [I]influence[/I] me often, but they don't [I]dictate[/I] what I consider to be collectible. Ever.[/QUOTE]
