<p>[QUOTE="XpipedreamR, post: 195933, member: 1269"]Mine keeps getting smaller and smaller. I figure that if I'm looking at a printed list of my collection, and I don't have a solid mental image and intimate knowledge of each piece, then it's no longer a collection of treasured coins, but more of an accumulation. Not that there's anything wrong with an accumulation. I have accumulated coins, and at some point I realized that I had lots of coins that I couldn't even remember, and that had little or no individual meaning to me. I strictly redefined my collecting goals, and what I'm doing now is much more satisfying to me. I guess my new motto is "less is more," something like that. I still have some rolls of silver, stuff like that, that I suppose would push the total number of coins up, but I don't really count those as part of the collection, but more a speculative holding.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
