<p>[QUOTE=&quot;geekpryde, post: 1525535, member: 36248&quot;]Regarding collecting whole series/sets,</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m moving in the other direction.&nbsp; I am going from a complete series collector to slowly deciding Type collecting is more fun, more interesting, and is way better for showing off to non-collectors (wives, neighbors, mothers, etc).&nbsp; &nbsp; Showing them 80 kennedy proofs or 80 MS Washington Quarters VS. showing them 5 really amazing, toned, stunning coins all of a different design that might be ~$1000 each instead of ~$20 each.&nbsp; &nbsp; I am trying to make the transition as we speak, but buying one amazing coin a year is alot harder than 20-30 a year I want to buy.&nbsp; &nbsp; That&#039;s just how I&#039;m evolving my hobby, but you can come at it in any direction.&nbsp;&nbsp; I used to think Type collectors were dumb, and now I envy them and am trying to become one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ignore the BS distinction of the enthusiast vs. collector.&nbsp; Collect what you like and what you can afford and you can label it anything you want.&nbsp; &nbsp; Personally, I like &quot;coin geek&quot;, or &quot;coin punk&quot;, but &quot;Enthusiast&quot; and &quot;Collector&quot; are nice too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
