[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 8257727, member: 110226"]Well, as Joseph Campbell said, "Follow your bliss". If your bliss is for attractive, high quality coins, so be it. They often fetch the higher prices at auction, if not only for their more universal appeal to collectors and non-collectors. My coins run the gamut, mostly because I am sometimes attracted to a coin that has characteristics that are not necessarily those of high preservation or even beauty, such as coins with interesting countermarks, coins of unusual origins, coins that imitate a popular type, coins that interesting, but not necessarily aesthetic strikes, such as major rotations, and coins that even have stuff on them that look like an animal on top: [ATTACH=full]1456059[/ATTACH] But, yes, generally speaking quality trumps quantity.
