<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 8281018, member: 44357&quot;]A great set of thoughts. Another factor for me as a minimalist collector is: how much does a coin contribute to the narrative I&#039;m trying to tell with my collection? If I already have a coin representing a region, ruler, or artistic style, another example of a related type might be &quot;worth less&quot; to me as it provides less net-new content.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is, of course, entirely arbitrary and can change on an hourly basis at times. However, it provides another filter which is useful to balance the desire to purchase a new coin on a whim.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m constantly assessing what types would broaden the story I&#039;m trying to convey which, with millions of possible types from which to choose, represents a non-trivial effort.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s the curse of being a generalist: I&#039;ve ended up needing to specialize in how to generalize.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
