<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2689586, member: 19463&quot;]Yes, we are as different as can be.&nbsp; I published a page showing my favorite 100 (actually 99 and a half) coins but, as with Harlan Berk&#039;s book that I was honoring through imitation, some of the hundred had back up coins that were closely related.&nbsp; His coin #9 was one of thirty shown; more of mine have two or three but every time I get a new &#039;favorite&#039; I have trouble deleting one to make space so I end up with a page covering Italian incuse reverses rather than just the one that started that page.&nbsp; If I have trouble moving coins to the loser list, imagine how I would suffer disinheriting them like most people do.&nbsp; I have a new coin I want to add but first have to decide which one has to go.&nbsp; I feel so heartless and the coins are not going anywhere.&nbsp; I could not be a dealer. <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/favs.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/favs.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/favs.html</a></p><p><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/favgroup.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Which will be next to go?&nbsp; Losers step forward.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ll probably cheat an rewrite a few similar items and free up a couple spaces. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Most definitely not!&nbsp; I do not propose having the most coins or in completing the most sets.&nbsp; I just don&#039;t subscribe to the theory that a $100 coin is defective because it is not a $1000 coin.&nbsp; Every one of my coins in the photo has a reason for being and most of my backstock (the losers that didn&#039;t make the cut) do, too. Part of that is studying the coins and learning what it is about that coin that made it something I wanted.&nbsp; Whoever dies with the most coins they can&#039;t bear to sell...</p><p>...WINS!!!!! Right!!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>One of the two coins below was 200 times the cost of the other (one was a better deal).&nbsp; One made the list while the other is a backup (and I&#039;d trade it away, given the chance, for the right coin). If you can&#039;t tell which is which, you don&#039;t know me.</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/f56.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/f56.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/f56.html</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]602999[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/f72.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/f72.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/f72.html</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]603000[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
