<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cherd, post: 8470834, member: 24754&quot;]I&#039;d say this is the most realistic way to look at it. If you&#039;re not paying whatever is necessary to get the best examples in the world, then you are compromising!</p><p><br /></p><p>But I guess the question being asked is, &quot;According to the standards that you have established for yourself based on budget, aesthetic preferences, etc.... Do you ever compromise?&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I do from time to time, however, I tend to make compromises on cheaper coins as opposed to more expensive ones. I have a certain list of coins that I&#039;m after, and when it comes to the high priced ones (Julius Caesar for instance), I only want to buy that coin one time. Therefore, I wait until one comes along that I&#039;d be happy with and pay what is required to get it.</p><p><br /></p><p>With the cheaper ones, I tend to think, &quot;I can get a great version of that coin at any time&quot;. So, sometimes I buy lesser examples of those for the purpose of making myself feel good about temporarily filling some holes! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Both very nice coins by the way. The Elephant Caesar isn&#039;t on my list, but that Otho would certainly not be a compromise according to my standards.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
