<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Midas, post: 48459, member: 2761&quot;]You buy the <u>best</u> coin in the <u>best</u> condition that you can afford.&nbsp; It is easy to walk into a show and buy a number of commons that fill up as many holes as possible.&nbsp; You feel good as slot after slot gets filled.&nbsp; But...if you took that money and bought one great coin versus 50 commons, you would have been better off.</p><p><br /></p><p>For instance, I almost pulled the trigger years back for a PCGS graded Lincoln 1922 Plain, Strong Reverse in EF45 condition.&nbsp; The dealer was asking $1,150 for it.&nbsp; I couldn&#039;t stomach paying $1,150 for ONE coin so I spent the weekend buying commons.&nbsp; What does that coin go for now?...Over double!!</p><p><br /></p><p>The commons I bought are pretty much the same price because they are COMMON.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look at the article in this week&#039;s Coin World about the 1995-W SAE Proof.&nbsp; These coins have doubled in prices realized over the last couple of years.&nbsp; Many predict they will hit $10,000 for a PR69DCAM in a couple of years!</p><p><br /></p><p>Buy quality because quality coins will always maintain their value and desire.&nbsp; Quality is hard to find.&nbsp; Keys are hard to find.&nbsp; When I look back at coins I should have bought instead of the &quot;bulk&quot; of coins that made me feel better because of &quot;slots filled&quot;, if I had to do it again, I would have bought my keys first...relaxed...then looked for nice eye appealing commons to fill in the &quot;holes&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Would of, could of, should of!!&nbsp; Ask any collector and those that been around would 99% agree.&nbsp; Grab the key...the commons will always be around.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
