<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 3716760, member: 10461&quot;]I think your idea of a 200-coin limit has much merit.&nbsp; Manageable size.&nbsp; Quality over quantity.&nbsp; And selling 5 or 6 &quot;lesser&quot; coins to buy a &quot;bigger&quot; coin is a good way to go about it, without having to pull a big lump sum out of your pocket.&nbsp; This is the way I&#039;ve gotten my bigger-ticket coins in the past, since I almost never have an abundance of cash in my pocket.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course it takes some material detachment to part with the ones you&#039;ll be selling.&nbsp; But for me, that remorse usually goes away later, when I&#039;m basking in the glow of the bigger purchase those sales made possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>My &quot;<a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lord-marcovans-eclectic-box-collection-as-of-september-7-2019.346448/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lord-marcovans-eclectic-box-collection-as-of-september-7-2019.346448/">Eclectic Box</a>&quot; was a &quot;Box of 20&quot; collection from 2013-2016 before I threw that limitation out the window and let it grow.&nbsp; The 20-coin limit took a lot of discipline and got to the point where it brought some very hard choices.&nbsp; Since abandoning it, I&#039;m now at slightly over 50 coins, so it&#039;s still a relatively small collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just today I was thinking of sticking to a 50-coin limit for a while, and improving the individual quality/value of the coins (aside from 5 or so pieces which are sentimental favorites, some of which are <a href="https://collectivecoin.com/lordmarcovan/7my2PhjhXCrR9PLbqB5k/JGx51458U5oTEGbSUlbT" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://collectivecoin.com/lordmarcovan/7my2PhjhXCrR9PLbqB5k/JGx51458U5oTEGbSUlbT" rel="nofollow">valuable</a> and some of which are <a href="https://collectivecoin.com/lordmarcovan/7my2PhjhXCrR9PLbqB5k/5MYF2wjidvliPYOxoA08" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://collectivecoin.com/lordmarcovan/7my2PhjhXCrR9PLbqB5k/5MYF2wjidvliPYOxoA08" rel="nofollow">not</a>).</p><p><br /></p><p>Not sure if I&#039;ll do that or not.&nbsp; Still thinking about it.&nbsp; Maybe I&#039;d stick to the 50-coin limit for a couple of years like I did with the old 20-coin limit, and work on upgrading instead of expanding for a while.&nbsp; Then later, I could go into another expansion phase and let it grow to 75 or 100.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since this spring, when I did a big purge and let a lot of my &quot;trophy&quot; coins go, I&#039;ve been working under a $500/coin budget cap, which is more within my means, but it means bigger gold and things like that are out of reach.&nbsp; There&#039;s still plenty of good stuff in the sub-$500 tier, though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
