Message:: [QUOTE="mikem2000, post: 1503779, member: 30574"]I think my post was was worded a bit incorectly.  I was refering to a collector as myself, who does not focus on any particular series or even a type set.  I just buy quality coins coins I like and it is rare that I have no specialty series or direction.  Most folks also do not have have a collection as small as mine (40 coins give or take)  That is why I said it is lonely on my side of the mountain. I realize that there are many seasoned collectors who instist on TPG coins.  As you said, if you are trying to sell coins, you will quickly understand that point.  So I do not feel "lonely"' in that requard.  As I said in an earlier, post, I move coins in and out of my collection, I do this as part of my hobby to keep my collection fresh with new and upgraded pieces, not to make a buck.  Since I actually do like money though, I do not like losing money on a coin, so, to keep loss at a bare minumum or possible make a few bucks, the path is clear.  "Buy premium Coins wrapped in plastic, perferably with a green bean".  Look for good deals, NOT cheap prices.  The two rarely go hand in hand. Quality never goes out of style. Mike[/QUOTE]
