<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2142099, member: 19463&quot;]I use as a guide how I feel the evening I get home after buying a coin at a show.&nbsp; Some of these are feel goods fitting my desire to have a lot of coins not so bad that I feel the immediate need to upgrade.&nbsp;&nbsp; Others remind me I am an addict.&nbsp; Some make me want to run home and post them to Coin Talk; some can wait until someone else asks a question that showing the coin will answer.&nbsp;&nbsp; A few go straight to the give away box.&nbsp; Where we each draw the lines will be different.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Ras got this right as long as we allow for really big carts.&nbsp; I know I have developed a new attitude toward his coins based now on the fact that my cart is filling up.&nbsp; I suspect the same thing is true for most rulers but it is a lot harder to find a cartload of Pescennius Niger so my imperfect ones look better.&nbsp; Martin and I have some coins of Septimius Severus of which we are proud based on the fact that we have never seen a handful (maybe not the number you can hold with one finger) and ours is better than average.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I bought 25 coins Friday at the show.&nbsp; Of them only one was Gallienus or any other ruler after the Severans and before the Tetrarchy.&nbsp; I decided it was worth $12.&nbsp;&nbsp; It turned out when I got home I had one like it but with an A in the field.&nbsp; I&#039;m getting better but I&#039;m not cured. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]410013[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
