<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 650569, member: 16948&quot;]Believe, me I have been hearing that for many years from most dealers, but that has never stopped me from maintaining and upgrading my personal collection.&nbsp; So, if any of you have seen my collection of Indian and Lincoln cents which is posted on my website, you will know that I definitely disagree with that phrase.&nbsp; I think you certainly can be both!&nbsp; As a matter of fact, as a dealer, I feel I have an advantage over non-dealer collectors - I get to see the cream of the crop, I can usually buy nice coins at better prices, and I can simply add whatever duplicates I have to my inventory and sell it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, I also have some beautiful coins on my website that are also for sale and some people wonder why I am not keeping some of these.&nbsp; I personally don&#039;t feel the need to keep every coin I like for my personal collection, only the ones that I &quot;need&quot; to fill holes or upgrade, though sometimes I do find a coin that is so very unique that I add it to my collection.&nbsp; But I am quite discerning with what I keep, I have certain criteria that I follow, and I certainly can&#039;t buy everything I like.</p><p><br /></p><p>As an aside, I just came back from auction lot viewing at Bowers &amp; Merena, and there was this 1922 No D in MS64 - OMG!&nbsp; My jaw dropped, and I audibly gasped when I saw that coin in hand.&nbsp; It has the most perfect lustrous bluish gray magenta toning that I absolutely love - and I have never seen a better quality 1922 No D.&nbsp; (Any Lincoln enthusiasts know that the 1922 No D is normally one of the most bug ugly coins due to how extremely polished the die was which created a very mushy obverse and also removed the D.)&nbsp; But WOW!&nbsp; Not this coin!&nbsp; I&#039;m guessing this coin will sell for $20-$30,000 at least - waaaay out of my ballpark.&nbsp; But boy was I drooling over that puppy and would I ever love to own it!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
