[QUOTE="nerosmyfavorite68, post: 8256740, member: 134416"]The change isn't so much what I collect, but [I]how [/I]I collect. I'm going to try to be disciplined and generally focus on [I]attractive[/I] coins. But Octavian's Actium arch and Tiberius Apsimar were calling to me. :woot::playful::p Attractive patinas can also make a lower grade coin (VG or F) attractive and save for terrible surfaces, the large posthumous Tets (33+mm) are attractive. Up to $500 (It's rare that I go over that threshold) should still open a lot of coins to this new strategy. Old way; about 60+% of my personal buys of the last 10 years were decrepit rarities. My new goal is to perhaps have a 75% beautiful to decrepit ratio.[/QUOTE]
