<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 1412493, member: 68&quot;]To each his own.&nbsp; Quality os great and quantity is great as well.</p><p><br /></p><p>For me personally it&#039;s more and more about rarity and completeness than it is either quality or quantity.&nbsp; As A collector I tend to favor rarity above all else whether it&#039;s the absolute rarity of a unique Eaton Falls, MI token or the rarity of a gem 1982-P quarter.&nbsp; Completeness tome means having one of everything of everything I collect and this is very similar to quantity.&nbsp; It means having all the common telephone tokens (200+) as well as the scarce ones (&lt;20).&nbsp; It means I have an AU 1973 quarter in my &quot;from circulation&quot; collection right next to my F &#039;73 reverse of &#039;72 quarter.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Doing it my way means you might end up with a lot of safety deposit boxes but it also provides a sense of completeness that collecors strive for.&nbsp; Obviously none of my collections will ever be truly complete since I always seek new varieties and upgrades as well as with many of my collections there are unknown issues to stumble upon.&nbsp; I wouldn&#039;t know if one were complete.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Anytime I have coins that don&#039;t fit either my strategy or my collection I try to trade or sell them off.&nbsp; I&#039;d much rather own a few coins that I think might increase in the future or a single coin for a collection than hundreds of coins that serve neither purpose.&nbsp; It&#039;s only in selling coins that one learns their true value so duplicates create a lerning oportunity.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
