<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 773585, member: 10103&quot;]Wow, totally missed this thread that was originally posted over one year ago.&nbsp; :smile</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>When I first started collecting back in the sixties it was mint sets and proof sets that were my primary focus, as I felt that was the best way to collect examples of &quot;year&quot; sets. I filled my albums primarily from pocket change, unwilling to break open the sacred sets from the mint for fear of committing some form of sacrilege. That philosophy stayed with me up until 2004 when I found myself able to afford more than one example of the proof and mint set and so I found myself breaking some of the coins out to add to extra albums.&nbsp; I&#039;m a big fan of OGP but now have no remorse in breaking out superior examples of particular coins.&nbsp; One thing I absolutely refuse to do is break out modern commem&#039;s.&nbsp; That, however, may change if I ever have the ability to purchase multiple examples of proof and unc.&nbsp; :smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
