<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 64246, member: 3011"]This is something I've wanted to ask a group of knowledgeable collectors for some time.

I'm also somewhat quality conscious and look for a pretty high quality coin for the money, although I don't mind at all buying circulated coins. However, it doesn't bother me at all if I buy a dulplicate [or triplicate] of something I already own. If I see a Morgan dollar in a date and mintmark I already have for a great price for the grade, I'll buy it. If there are two MS69 modern commemoratives available for a bargain price, I'll buy both. I don't ever think I'll complete a set of anything with this approach, but it doesn't really bother me.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is this a mistake?
