<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 3129991, member: 25270"]I used to try to get one of everything, and then at some point I realized it was an impossible task and it didn't make sense to spend time and money gathering coins that I only wanted to fill a hole. So for most coins I decided to become more of a type collector, though if I have several really nice examples of the same series or if it's a certain age I'll keep more than one of a type. I never keep multiples of the same date. Some of the coin series that I really like I decided to hold onto my accumulation, like British pennies. A few of my country sets were too close to complete to give up on and I still have those, but the majority is just a type set. And then I have a parallel collection of coins with animals on them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
