<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2040816, member: 46237&quot;]While I picked up a lot of nice coins in 2014, this year my collection was redefined not by what I bought, but by what I did not buy.</p><p><br /></p><p>I scaled back on some of my side collections in favor of high grade type coins, and gave up the habit of buying hole-fillers across the board. I&#039;m trying to avoid buying coins I will want to upgrade in the future by waiting for the right coins in collector grade with good eye appeal. By not spreading my coin funds around as much, I was able to focus more on my two favorite collections, uncirculated Washington quarters and small capped bust quarters by die marriage. I started buying the small capped bust quarters more selectively; setting a target grade for each variety based on condition rarity, and selling or trading the coins that did not meet my new targets.</p><p><br /></p><p>With these changes I&#039;ve been able to ensure that every coin I acquired for my collection was a meaningful addition, and overall I am a lot more satisfied with how I&#039;ve streamlined the collection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
