[QUOTE="clembo, post: 337421, member: 8033"]Really a great question and some great comments made. I guess one would STILL classify me as an accumulator. However, if you like many different types of coins it's a phenomenon that can easily happen. I love the 19th century stuff but have completed a whopping one set in 35+ years. I love bust halves - will I complete the set. Has never even crossed my mind but if I see a nice one, price is right and I have the money I'll snatch it up. Course I'd do the same with large cents, half cents, half dimes etc. After all these years I realize that I'm only missing a few Lincolns. The biggies, SVDB, 22 plain, and varieties. Got all the other dates and mintmarks and have NEVER considered myself a Lincoln collector. Price was right so I bought them. I do like to have at least one nice example of my type coins. Whatever my budget will allow. I do concentrate on higher grades now but still tend to bounce all over. I'm an accumulation collector I guess.[/QUOTE]
