[QUOTE="World Colonial, post: 2476572, member: 78153"]You should think carefully about your change in direction because "unnecessary" selling is expensive and will eat up a lot of your collection budget. When I resumed collecting in 1998, I evaluated what was available in Krause, what different US coins cost and what I could buy that I both liked and thought I could realistically afford, both then and later. If you are going to purchase actual rarities from US coinage, you better have a huge budget because none of them are affordable to the overwhelming percentage of collectors. Outside of specialization (such as errors and die varieties) which is how most US collectors define rarity today, the only actually rare 20th century US coins are in patterns, the 1913 LHN, proof gold and a low number of Indian Head Eagles and Saints.[/QUOTE]
