<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2918803, member: 19463&quot;]I do not follow my advice since I have no problem with owning multiple examples of the &#039;same&#039; coin.&nbsp; I have several die duplicates that are sufficiently different that I want to save both.&nbsp; The question assumed the proper collector would only own one and the coin is one that exists in sufficient quantity that it is possible to find one that is better.&nbsp; My answer is very different when we are talking about coins that are not easily upgraded.&nbsp; For example, below are two examples of the same type of Julia Domna.&nbsp; The two are die duplicates.&nbsp; Neither is clearly better than the other in every respect so I will keep both at least until I get a third one that is better than either or, rather, both combined (full legends with good surfaces).&nbsp;&nbsp; If I must have six of these to illustrate the dies, so be it.&nbsp; Rules vary when you can stand up at any auction and buy the upgrade you desire as opposed to looking for decades and not finding what you seek at any price.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]706378[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]706379[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
