<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Billy Kingsley, post: 894315, member: 19456&quot;]I probably would if I could afford it. I prefer quantity over quality (collecting world coins allows me to have both in many cases!) but quality isn&#039;t a bad thing either. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think I am working on a hoard of my own...small by hoard standards now but I am just starting out...for instance, I save every wheat cent I get in circulation...Never been more than 10 in one month, and some months have 0. I&#039;ve only been doing this since 2008 so it&#039;s not a large cache yet. Someday, maybe. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I also save every coin that meets a certain condition standard that I come across in change. I don&#039;t care about numerical grades, but if I get a modern cent, any year or mint, that has no major scratches, no black spots, no fingerprints or other stuff that makes it look less than brand new...I save it. Not that many coins meet that standard. I usually do two rolls of cents at a time, and I usually end up saving less than 10. I do this for all the circulating coins but I mainly do rolls of cents. (I enjoy the hunt, I find the best stuff in them, not hard for me to find an upgrade in them, I am allergic to the metal nickel, and I can usually always afford a dollar to hunt two rolls!)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If I could afford it I have no doubt I would get coins that looked nice, regardless of if I already have that date or not. But, money is so tight that if I am going to spend any it&#039;s going to be on something I don&#039;t already have. At least for right now, and the next couple of years. Who knows what the future holds?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
