[QUOTE="DoK U Mint, post: 1181834, member: 18848"][b]Nothing "Wrong" with the list.....BUT.....[/b] [FONT=Comic Sans MS]I would like to introduce a variable: [SIZE=4]New collector vs Investor vs YN.[/SIZE] Over 50 yrs ago I began "Collecting" coins, ie, ones set aside to spend later and back then I didn't even know why. I just liked the different ones and kept them different. Well, it is now Later for me and I am now "spending" the ones I have duplicates or better examples in my collection. These include coins currently sought after for different reasons than when I 1st set them aside. But, IMHO, a [SIZE=3]new/YN[/SIZE] collector might consider searching the coins they already have or encounter in their everyday life. The Lincoln series, Westward Journey nickels, States Quarters, small dollars, WAM's might be escalated to the 1909 VDB's & '55 DD's, extra leaf WI's, or "Godless" Washington's of the future if you just look at what you've got/get. Then again, I just might be just presenting an alternate view and wreaking the thread. But when I was wrong back then (I have converted loads of 1943 LWC's into a few Morgans/SLQ's and other stuff on the 1st list) I had the pleasure of learning from my mistakes or getting better examples of the the ones I've become to desire.......or spent at the value I acquired them. I just wanted to introduce the concept of different strikes for different types.:devil: [/FONT][/QUOTE]
