<p>[QUOTE=&quot;nicholasz219, post: 5454499, member: 75641&quot;]I would say that you will find what is important to you the deeper you go into the hobby.&nbsp; Whatever that is, focus on that.&nbsp; I have found that I really would prefer nice coins but I’m adverse to overpaying and the current market pushes prices to the edge of what I want to pay.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have found consistently that I really like to have coins that have full legends and can be identified easily.&nbsp; Especially with the provincial pieces which can be hard enough to identify even with full legends.&nbsp; I’ve made some conscious decisions in cases where a partial legend on a nice coin (usually a weak strike) allows me to pick up a nice coin at a discount.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Lately, I find that I’m making more purchases of coins from cities I don’t have even with partial legends.&nbsp; That’s okay but not ideal.&nbsp;&nbsp; I also like mintmark combos of coins of Probus and Constantine.&nbsp; So when I need a cheap snack to scratch an itch, I go that route because I can buy a coin that actually does fill a hole cheaply and not “corrupt” my main collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
