[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 5447405, member: 73489"][B][COLOR=#0000ff]Definitely quality. [/COLOR][/B] I really enjoy Saints and Morgans and while the latter can be had for $200 and under, the former is going to run $2,000 and up. Like all of you, I get the urge to buy now-and-then. What do I do ? Silver moderns and commemoratives, anything from a nice DCAM 69 ASE to a National Park Foundation Reverse Proof in honor of Augustus Saint-Gaudens. With the growth of online, you can find yourself watching, bidding, or buying every week. For those of us with a budget, that is impractical. Years ago, you'd save up your $$$ for a trip to the LCS or a local coin show...or save the Big $$$ for FUN, ANA, or Long Beach. You just have to be disciplined and set a mental budget. [B][COLOR=#ff0000]Important: [/COLOR][/B] [U]I find that the downtime between major purchases allows me to do lots of research on what to buy....teaches me patience...gives me time to scan past auctions to know if I am buying high, low or in-betweem.[/U] [B]I waited almost 5 years before purchasing my 1923-D Saint-Gaudens.[/B][/QUOTE]
