[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 3007691, member: 10461"]As it happens, I'm going for a matching look in my present sideline project. Common, readily-available coins, but with a fairly specific look. I think some of this will depend on how specialized someone's collection is, of course. I've seen posts by folks on the Ancients forum who were definite Type 3 collectors. There are some people who have waited 18 to 20 [I]years[/I] to make a particular addition! I don't have that kind of commitment and long-term focus. In the US coins camp, I would imagine you'd find a good number of Type 3 collectors in the early copper and Overton-variety Bust half collectors. Maybe the silver dollar VAM-variety folks. If, on the other hand, your collection is less specialized and follows the more-traveled and popular routes, and/or the coins are more readily available, then you can survive or even thrive as a Type 1 or Type 2 collector.[/QUOTE]
