<p>[QUOTE="stevereecy, post: 4849851, member: 19884"]Cool coins. I can understand the difficulty in getting down to 20 coins or anything close to it. Especially if you put that much time money and effort into collecting coins. Whether it’s lucky or unlucky for me, I kept selling my coins to buy other Collectibles over the years until around 10 years ago. </p><p><br /></p><p>I went through a mental exercise in figuring out what the final box of 20 might look like. You know like the fantasy box of 20 where money is almost no object. What I realized is that 20 was doable but constraining. 25 would make more sense. But, and this is the important part, trying to stay at a smaller number like 20 coins will rapidly increase the quality of the collection. I could go after, say, 30 coins from the beginning, but it would take much longer to get some of the better coins. I’m considering doing 20 coins until I get to a certain dollar value per coin and then expanding to something like 30. Sort of like filling museum with great artifacts and then building in addition to the museum. It also helped me see that as the collection improves I would enjoy owning some coins that wouldn’t fit in the collection in the end.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
