<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dave_in_delaware, post: 3025929, member: 82414&quot;]For my circulated US coins collection, I&#039;ve been happily collecting 3 or 4 of every year/mintmark that I receive from various sources (change, vending machines, Coinstars, CRH, etc). </p><p><br /></p><p>When I get a nicer specimen, I swap it out for a more worn one. I&#039;m guessing that&#039;s what most collectors normally do.</p><p><br /></p><p>But with the introduction of edge lettering on the Presidential and Sacagawea dollars, I find myself at a sort of loss.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure if it&#039;s worth doubling the amount of coins I collect just because of the two different position possibilities on each year/mintmark coin. Especially since the position is totally random and the mintage is unknown for each. If I decide to save both positions, that&#039;s twice the money tied up for these particular dollar coins. If I decide to save only one position, which one (A or B)? Or should I not save them at all? </p><p><br /></p><p>Nevermind the fact that these coins will probably turn colors eventually thanks to the particular metal combo. I&#039;m not sure if I&#039;ll be a fan of that.</p><p><br /></p><p>FYI: I save more than one of each year/mintmark so I&#039;ll have something to hand down to my 3 kids once I&#039;m gone. It might not be worth much, but two of my children have already started their own collections like their dad has recently.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, for those of you who collect these dollar coins, what do you do? Both positions? Only one? None? And please let me know your logic, because I&#039;m up in the air about it right now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
