<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4744217, member: 19463"]I try very hard not to buy coins that I will plan to upgrade. There are many coins competing for my limited budget and buying a sequence of coins is just a waste of money. Certainly I have bought and resold coins along the way but they tend to be mistakes and duplicates. I make enough mistakes without doing it on purpose. Of course much of this is due to the fact that I do not consider all coins of one emperor to be the 'same' and have many more emperors in 10+ examples than I do in just one. For those who want to have just one, I do suggest that it is better to hold off and buy a coin that you can like rather than liking the first coin that comes your way. According to my records starting with my first computer files in the late 80's, I still have ~89% of the coins I bought and cataloged since that time. That does not count coins (perhaps a hundred?) I bought as part of group lots but never intended to keep. That is a lot of mistakes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
