Prices only affect my buying. If prices go up, I won&#039;t be able to afford as many or as good coins. If prices go down, I&#039;ll be able to afford more or better coins. It&#039;s unlikely I will ever benefit dollar-wise from my collection. Whoever gets them in my will, will be the beneficiary. My benefit is the pleasure of collecting and appreciating&quot; Kanga (2008)</font></span></b></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">I recommend that you spend your money on a couple problem-free key or semi-key coins.&nbsp; You can then match the key coin&#039;s condition as you fill the common holes with coins in similar condition.&nbsp; I&#039;d like to stress &quot;Problem-free&quot;.&nbsp; Avoid getting key coins that have obvious cleaning problems or coins that just don&#039;t look right.&nbsp; In the end, you will want all the coins to match in the collection.</font></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">Please post the coins you get.</font></span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">Very best regards,</font></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">collect89&nbsp; </font></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
