[QUOTE="iPen, post: 2064528, member: 69760"]I categorized my collecting habits better after reading what others have posted here. Present self: I am a type collector (don't really see the point in filling holes, and I never started that way so I feel like I skipped a grade or two :) based on how some of you evolved, not that filling holes is for less tenured folks at all - I'm just glad I didn't go through that phase because I wouldn't have liked that in hindsight), only legal tender coins, no paper, XF/AU minimum but preferably higher grade while trying to avoid problem coins, and I'm in the commemorative coin phase at the moment. Future self: Same as present self, but I think I'm headed towards stricter, higher grade coins but not necessarily MS/PR-70 on modern coins (I can't personally justify paying a premium on "perfect" coins when MS/PR-69 seems just as "perfect" for up to 10+ times less), I'll add more world silver coins, I may add gold... eventually, and there's still a ton I'll learn about numismatics![/QUOTE]
