<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 135872, member: 3011&quot;]I don&#039;t think it would be a bad idea, but it isn&#039;t what I plan to do.&nbsp; I just think that too many people in the hobby adhere too closely to the ancient wisdom passed down to them instead of thinking in broader terms and expanding the concept of what is considered a worthwhile collection.&nbsp; Many people are locked into the mindset to &quot;buy key dates,&quot; &quot;buy the best coin you can afford,&quot; &quot;stick with third party graded coins,&quot; &quot;collect by date and mintmark or typeset only,&quot; &quot;never buy a cleaned coin,&quot; etc...&nbsp; This creates what I consider an unusual situation where 90%+ of all coins still in existence have little or no value in a collection even if they are pretty old unless they are very scarce.&nbsp; There is something wrong with that situation, but I know I&#039;m not going to change it.&nbsp; Time will along with future collectors yet unborn who can think outside the box.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
