<p>[QUOTE="heavycam.monstervam, post: 2844187, member: 73448"]I tried to put together a complete set of Washington Quarters when i 1st started collecting. It was enjoyable at 1st, but i soon realized that -1) i bought alot of dawgs just to fill a hole. Paying more attention to the date and MM than the actual coin itself. 2) i would never be able to put together a matched set of MS coins. 3) i spent alot of time and $ to complete a set that restricted me from buying anything else. So i gave up, and went back to the coin that got me started in the 1st place. (Morgan $) It was a comfort zone because i knew how to grade them and i didnt make all those rookie mistakes when buying. Nowadays, - i buy coins that speak 2 me, or jump out of the dealers case at me. It can be from the US, World coin, commem- doesnt matter as long as it is worthy of my collection. Also, I am putting together a toned type set (coin has to be amazing) and i am very very picky and scrutinize a coin before i pull my $ out of my pocket. Lastly, i buy PL & DMPL Morgans (date doesnt matter) ive long been bedazzled by these, they are definitely my all-time favorites!! I like to go vamming from time to time and will look for the rare and expensive vams. Wow, i just wrote a book, im drained[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
