<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PaddyB, post: 1582427, member: 40017&quot;]I am the opposite to rodeoclown - I buy whatever I can lay my hands on and afford, and switch into my collection any upgrades. I sell on anything switched out, and all the coins that don&#039;t fit into my narrow collecting band&nbsp; (basically British from Saxon times to date) with the aim of making a small profit. I have been fortunate to do well at this so that I can say my entire collection has been paid for on the profits of trading. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just as well - if I had to rely on my regular earnings I would have no collection at all!</p><p><br /></p><p>Few things are more satisfying than finding a really good upgrade amongst a pile of shrapnel. Just the other day I found an almost uncirculated 1934 halfpenny in a pile of virtually worthless UK pre-decimal coins. It now has its place in my album, and its predecessor will go to market. (And yes, I do feel guilty about saying goodbye to a coin that has held the slot for nearly ten years.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Paddy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
