<p>[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 1607424, member: 36248"]I recently decided to stop accumulating many relativle cheap coins (for me, that means ~$10-30 coins) and to start focusing on fewer, but nicer coins. I am now going to try to buy only 4 coins a year, around $150 each. I am NOT going to collect series anymore, I am going to collect very nice examples of coins that I can afford, and only a single coin from each "type". For me, this is much more enjoyable post-purchase. Of course, having a new cheap coin show up every week is also enjoyable, but that joy does not last, it's more like a quick sugar-rush. Good luck, have fun. </p><p><br /></p><p>One more piece of advice; if you can find a local or online dealer you like and trust, you can save the seller alot of pesky ebay fees by buying direct, and in turn you can get coins cheaper. I have purchase ALOT of coins on ebay, but I now have a few dealers I like, so I am probably going to be buying more coins direct from dealers, which I think will benefit both parties.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
