I consider purchases on that level to be &quot;major buys.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>There are many collectors who are primarily interested in profits. That&#039;s why there was so much emphasis on key dates and varieties when I was a dealer. The common dates were &quot;stuff&quot; and not &quot;worthwhile.&quot; The result was items like the 1937-D three legged Buffalo Nickel became so expensive, even though it&#039;s really pretty common.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
