[QUOTE="Catbert, post: 620153, member: 12718"]"to each, his own" For me, as a type collector, I prefer the highest graded, most eye appealing coin I can afford. I do this because I want to see the design in all its intended glory. I don't want many examples of the same thing because I usually only want one. It would bore me collect a series since I would be seeing the same design over and over, but with a different date or mint mark. As people have mentioned, this approach exacts a price in terms of time. My purchases are few and far between and I don't get a regular pleasant stimulus. This is very difficult and requires more patience than what I really have. Secondarily, I believe buying higher grade examples will be easier to sell should I want a better example or to just buy something different. I don't know this to be true, but it is my suspicion. I feel my small collection is nothing special when compared to others, but it is special to me. I guess that is all that matters.[/QUOTE]
