<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 25673899, member: 36248&quot;]I also find inspiration from other members here, especially the collectors that are &quot;Type&quot; focused, Box-of-20 or Box-of-100 limited, or themed (like Horses), or that have their coins shown with superior photography.&nbsp;&nbsp; Certainly has helped shape my goals for how I approach the &quot;collecting&quot; part of the hobby.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A specific person here at CT, has even made me realize just how pretty high grade Jefferson Nickels can be, so I got into finding beautiful examples.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have NOT changed my primary &quot;focus&quot; much in around 12 years, but certainly my thinking has evolved within that focus, and so has the hobby in general to some extent.&nbsp;&nbsp; What people thought &quot;Weird&quot; back in 2013, which was a CAC-only Type set, well that&#039;s just plain normal now, so much so, that CAC has its own &quot;CAC-only&quot; registry sets and started a grading company!&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have completely changed my view on a few things, just as one example, I used to greater prefer NGC and their white slabs.&nbsp; But over the years, I have completely flip-flopped and greatly prefer PCGS slabs.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; What I realized is that I loved NGC Fatty holders, and in my mind, that meant I loved NGC holders in general, and well, its just not true.&nbsp;&nbsp; Took me many years to realize just how much I don&#039;t like the modern NGC holders.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I also used to hate SBA dollar, but actually really like my Type coin and don&#039;t just have it to fill a hole.&nbsp; &nbsp; (I still refuse to have a 50-States quarter in my set and most super modern coins).</p><p><br /></p><p>I would be curious to know what changes you end up making to your own set, maybe if you end up implementing any tweaks, you can start a new thread so we can follow along with your process.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know that I have turned my thread here into almost a Journal, where I dump my coin-related thoughts out, mostly for myself, but also because maybe a few people out of many thousands will think they are interesting or might spark some ideas.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
