I meant that you can't often be picky in a series like this... where nice ones so rarely come up for sale. Waiting for the right coin for your collection can sometimes pay off nicely, but you may be dead before "the right one" actually comes up for sale.
It's a matter of how you collect. It ranges from anything and everything to a single purchase that's just perfect. Most of us in early copper know that there are few problem free coins available (none in many varieties) and those that are get hefty premiums over typical examples and may not show up for decades. So, it's like waiting for that 1804 Silver Dollar for under $50,000. Unless you wait on a time machine, it's just not happening. If that makes me a beggar, then so be it.
