<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1735714, member: 112&quot;]When I was still collecting quality was always my primary concern. But I readily admit that there were some coins where it played a lesser part if the price was right. That was a lot more true with the Spanish colonial coinage I collected, I would even buy problem examples at times. But generally only when they were common &amp; less than $50, and the smaller denominations. But there were personal reasons why I did that with Spanish colonial. I wouldn&#039;t have done it with anything else.</p><p><br /></p><p>My primary focus was on gold, and the coins I wanted did not come cheap. So if you are going to spend money then in my eyes you go for quality or not at all. But even then you have to know the market and must still balance quality vs price so you don&#039;t overpay.</p><p><br /></p><p>My comments may or may not make sense to you. But a quick look through my albums here on CT - <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/members/gdjmsp/albums/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/members/gdjmsp/albums/">http://www.cointalk.com/members/gdjmsp/albums/</a>&nbsp; - should speak volumes and make it easy to understand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
