<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2795985, member: 19463&quot;]A major decision is just whose approval you are seeking with this collection.&nbsp; You are a lot better off IMHO if you worry about making yourself happy with the way you conduct your hobby activities and not so much about the legion of advisers who will tell you how you should be doing it.&nbsp; Some are only concerned with buying coins that will appreciate in value faster while others never buy a coin that they plan to sell in the rest of their life so what it is &#039;worth&#039; is of little matter.&nbsp; Some will show their every coin to anyone willing to look while others will die leaving a box in the closet that their children never suspected existed.&nbsp; I would be a lot better off financially if I had never pointed out to certain dealers how you can tell certain rare coins from similar common ones.&nbsp; When I tell someone about an interesting coin and create competition in future sales, I cost myself money.&nbsp; Sharing coins can be a hobby just as much as gathering them.&nbsp; What will be your hobby?&nbsp; You may not know that answer for another 50 years or so.&nbsp; Enjoy the trip.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
