<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7955900, member: 19463&quot;]When you collect generally, many coins make sense.&nbsp; The question is whether you want a coin that is available now or want to wait and see if something better shows up.&nbsp; Upgrading is expensive since dealers will rarely give even half what you paid.&nbsp; I have resold some coins for less than I paid thirty years ago so I do not buy things I don&#039;t like.&nbsp; The Nerva should be a keeper for me but I would like it better without the reverse problems.&nbsp; Price?&nbsp; Yes, sometimes you take a day and go to a show and decide to pay too much to avoid going home empty handed.&nbsp; Since coin photography is important to me, I tend to &#039;fall out of love&#039; easily with coins that resist my efforts to get a good photo.&nbsp; Light is bad at some shows and I was too lazy to examine more carefully with a light I had in my bag.&nbsp; That was not very smart.&nbsp; The other &#039;problem&#039; that comes up is buying something you forgot you already had or thinking that you were upgrading only to discover that your old coin was better.&nbsp; Rushing to look at too many coins does not pay off.&nbsp; All coins have some good points and some not so good.&nbsp; After you buy a coin, the faults can seem more troubling on some coins and less on others.&nbsp; Tell which is which in advance is a skill I have not perfected.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
