<p>[QUOTE="ubermint, post: 516020, member: 16665"]This topic has been buggin' me since lastnight when I read it. I'm not upset about it, I am just torn between what probably should be done with what I may want to do. I understand the fact that this is just opinions and respectfully everyone will still do what they want to. ALTHOUGH it does make more sense to get the best you can afford and plan to keep it forever. For me for instance though that means I could buy one proof or one MS something every couple months, or once a year if I were lucky. When in fact I like to just own all different kinds of things even if they are circulated or considered by most people to be junk. Here comes the "torn" part.... 40 years from now I'm gonna have a box full of variety cents, wartime nickels, some peace dollars, a morgan or two, some p/d state quarters and who knows what else will strike my interest but most likely a big box of "junk" (in albums <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />). Don't get me wrong, I would love to hand these down to my kids or grandkids and see them either enjoy them and continue collecting or sell them and have something more to show for it than...it's a circulated "steaming pile" <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. A few of the things I have are nice and I will probably score a few nice things along the way but the attraction to coin collecting is constantly finding "something" and calling it mine! (Speaking for myself) Hmm...start now with one or two really nice things that I can get out and admire once a week until more money comes my way or try to complete sets regardless of condition??</p><p> </p><p>Ahh well, have to figure this one out on my own I suppose, but also wanted to see if anyone else may feel the same way?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
