[QUOTE="Carthago, post: 3808691, member: 76111"]Spork - An excellent upgrade and really great example of the type. I particularly like the obverse style which I think is better than mine. Note mine is missing the star on the reverse. [ATTACH=full]1015951[/ATTACH] Now regarding standards, I've upgraded coins as better ones come along and simply gotten rid of ones that I don't love. The biggest problem I have is patience; sometimes I just want to buy a coin but should wait for a better example. I'm working on that still. I applaud your efforts to raise the standards of your collection and think you will be very happy with the results over time. Some upgrade examples: [ATTACH=full]1015956[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1015957[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1015958[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1015959[/ATTACH] And then ones that just needed to go without a replacement still because they aren't up to my standards anymore: [ATTACH=full]1015961[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1015964[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
