[QUOTE="chip, post: 1201961, member: 19122"]How do I decide? The old oracle at Delphi had an inscription that said "know thyself", well I must admit I have a lot to learn. The last show I had a comprehensive list of what I was looking for. Ended up making four purchases, and one of them was something that was not on the list but caught my fancy, a Lafayette Dollar. Why did I get it? I had not seen any of them in local shops, it was a purchase from a respected dealer, plus I had recently read a biography of General Washington and had read much about how valuable Lafayette was to the revolution and how much he suffered when he returned to Europe. So the purchase was as much whimsy as planned. This hobby is to be enjoyed, and I find it more enjoyable to sometimes go off the list when I see something that catches my fancy. So I tend to follow some happy coincidences, I like to have things that are a little less common.[/QUOTE]
