<p>[QUOTE="Cherd, post: 3056333, member: 24754"]More and more, I've grown to appreciate quality over quantity in my collections. An upside is that I rarely find myself in a position of culling upgrades. I buy the best that I can reasonably afford (when considering the number of coins that I will ultimately need for the collection) the first time, which typically means that any upgrade would be out of my price range. That being the case, I'd personally sell both coins, combine the money, and buy something in better condition. As my Momma always said, "If you can afford two lesser grade coins, then you can afford one better grade coin!". (She didn't really say that, but it'd be cool if she did <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> )</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, my approach to coins in general (new to ancients) is of the casual type set variety as opposed to strongly numismatic.
