[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 8415030, member: 20480"]Nice coins . . . Since your maturing taste in quality of coins appears to be driving your change in collecting perspective and satisfaction, I suggest the following: [LIST=1] [*]Find the coin in your collection that you most want to improve. Note that I did not use the word upgrade . . . as you've doubtless learned by now, there are many levels of quality within each grade (quality of planchet, of die state, of strike, of surface preservation, of eye appeal, etc) and even low grade coins can be more gratifying than higher grade coins. [*]Focus on finding a replacement for that coin, not necessarily the highest grade, or even an equal or higher grade, but one which will deliver greater satisfaction. [*]Liquidate the replaced coin to offset the cost of the replacement, whether partially or completely. [/LIST] Trying this once or twice should, at reasonable cost, tell you whether you wish to continue in this manner or not. You can enjoy the pursuit, while simultaneously finding the "conversion" less painful.[/QUOTE]
