<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1630148, member: 19463&quot;]That only happens if you are religiously attached to old definitions of what is collectible.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you decided that you will only collect one thing, you get to a point where you only see something you need and can afford every so often.&nbsp; If you decide that you need to branch out and give a look at other things, it is like starting over.&nbsp; For 40 years I collected only Greek and Roman but then I started looking at Indian and medieval.&nbsp; I still consider Greek and Roman my first interest but there are now twice as many things to look at when I go shopping so I might see six coins I want where there used to be three.&nbsp; You also can decide to get minor variations on what you used to see as the same coin.&nbsp; Do you need one Falling Horseman?&nbsp; (I know a couple of you say no to that.)&nbsp; You could decide to do a one per mint set.&nbsp; You could decide to collect minor die variations.&nbsp; One can become 15 or 2000 that way.&nbsp; You also have to address the question of what you can afford.&nbsp; If you have been spending $500 a year on 100 $5 coins as a matter of collecting style, you can decide to spend the whole year researching $500 coins and buy just one instead.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
