You're creating your own problem because you're inflicting "rules" on yourself. What you have to realize is that in coin collecting - [U]there are no rules ![/U] You can do whatever you want. You can quite literally have your cake and eat it too ! In other words, you can do both things. When ya see those coins that really jump out at ya and you say - OOOOOOH !
