[QUOTE="RomanTheRussian, post: 3262701, member: 7539"]Going through numerous year-end conversations with my team at work, seeing how we delivered on our shared objectives, stuck to training and development plans, all that fun stuff and I started to reflect on my own numismatic objectives for 2018 and what performance rating I would get based on what I promised myself I'd do this year. Last December, with my wife pregnant at that time and knowing that my numismatic budget will suffer severely due to all the upcoming changes in my life, my goal was to go review my collecting strategy and the coins i had as part of my primary set to see if I have lost my focus on quality and that "wow" factor that truly make this hobby enjoyable for me. I realized that I did. My desire to complete registry sets resulted in my collection having more and more mediocre coins that I, personally, was not happy with. I did a massive (for me) purge and sold-off just over 20 coins, keeping only the examples that I truly appreciated either from the perspective of quality, rarity, or history behind a particular coin. At the same time, I was able to add 6 coins that I absolutely love. With my goal for 2019 to be just as selective in the coins I add to my collection. So, how did everyone do? Here are the 6 I added to replace the 20+ sold. You can probably guess that my primary collection is Colonial Mexico Portrait 8 Reales :) [IMG]http://images.pcgs.com/coinfacts/28530318_large.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://images.pcgs.com/coinfacts/25259844_large.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://images.pcgs.com/coinfacts/28486204_large.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://images.pcgs.com/coinfacts/34838585_large.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://images.pcgs.com/coinfacts/25293788_large.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://images.pcgs.com/coinfacts/25244368_large.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
