[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 2828060, member: 19250"]Well Tommy you're not a variety collector, as I am not an album filler.....that said everyone has their interest and that said to each their own....as a variety collector I am more interested in xf or better specimens however some vf coins are part as sometimes they are all one can find or afford. I will on a very rare occasion buy a detailed coin,depending on the damage and series. I have also passed on such a prime example of was an 1876 shield nickel variety known as a bleeder. A rare coin that had damage on both surfaces. I am no longer collecting modern coins. My last Jefferson nickel stopped in 2006 And yes I am aware that modern actually begins in the 1950's so nothing after 1964 . I did collect ASE'S but found them boring.....I prefer Kooks and British for my bullion fix. I also collect some Canadian, and world coins. Not saying in all that I do collect I don't have a series that fills an album ,after all I have two complete sets of Jefferson nickels in unc. And proof, A set of MS Franklin and proofs. The same goes for my Roosevelt dimes. My passion is half dimes 1829 -1837 seated 1837-1873. And of course any variety I can cherry pick, no matter what series.[/QUOTE]
