<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 2547258, member: 19165&quot;]To explain where I am coming from (and I hope I don&#039;t sound like a dick, but I&#039;ve been accused of that many times before): </p><p><br /></p><p>For the same $40, my personal preference would be to buy one really nice UNC Morgan, or high quality circulated coin of a different type but equal value. Obviously, you know your collecting goals and the sets you are working on better than I do (I&#039;m assuming you have collecting goals, of course - if not, that&#039;s another discussion we probably should have). </p><p><br /></p><p>Does this purchase contribute to your set or collecting goals? </p><p><br /></p><p>In general, buying a single nice coin of high quality for the price, with good eye appeal, is going to serve you better in the long run. What are you going to do with the dozen junk coins you just bought? You have an accumulation of old stuff you don&#039;t need and a Columbian that you &quot;might just keep&quot; *if* you can &quot;preserve it&quot; (whatever that means). </p><p><br /></p><p>So ask yourself - what are you trying to accomplish with this purchase? Are you buying coins for an accumulation/hoard? Are you buying them to sell for a profit (which, as I have mentioned is unlikely - or at least not worth the time/effort you will spend for it). Again, not trying to attack you or anything - just trying to offer you a different opinion, explain where I&#039;m coming from, and maybe help you think about things a bit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
