<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 205829, member: 4626"]Purely a collector. The only time I sell or trade coins is when I have duplicates, and any proceeds goes right back into buying more coins lol... it would be a nice thing if my coins appreciate in value but I don't intend to sell any while I'm still alive unless I come across other coins I want more (though prefer to just buy them too, unless I just have redundant pieces lying around!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Right now have deicded I'm not going to work on series quite so much (will keep up with the Kennedys, since I have a complete set besides what new ones are still due to come out, and will keep up with the president dollars as they come out, and get a new clad proof set every year) and work on filling my type set. It's basically compete back to the 20th century, not counting gold, and am working on filling the 19th century now. When the type set is done may get back to working on that Lincoln cent series that I've been working on for 20+ years now lol...</p><p><br /></p><p>Minor damage that investors would run away from is my friend... it puts a lot of still very nice type coins with good detail but just a minor, not too distracting, scrath or dent here and there into my price range that I otherwise wouldn't be able to afford. Got a great capped bust half that way (easily an EF if not for the scratches and dents), and a good deal on a nice flying eagle cent that I otherwise wouldn't be able to afford with the amount of detail it has (but just a tiny nick on the obverse).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
