<p>[QUOTE=&quot;green18, post: 1393704, member: 10103&quot;]HMMM...tough one.&nbsp; What one considers a fine collection another might consider lacking.&nbsp; My collection of modern coins might not be as &#039;fine&#039; a collection when compared to a collector of more traditional classic issues.&nbsp; It&#039;s a pitfall that the hobby sometimes draws us into.....comparing collections.&nbsp; Collecting is a very personal endeavor.&nbsp; One assembles what he feels is best (by his own means and financial abilities) and hopes to achieve a certain goal.&nbsp; That goal could be as simple as putting together a collection of Lincoln Memorial cents in the highest quality and affordability of the person collecting it.&nbsp; That could be a &#039;fine collection&#039;.&nbsp; Another collector with more monetary means might put together a set of St. Gaudens double eagles in uncirculated condition.&nbsp; Another might do the same, but his criteria for &quot;fineness&#039; might be MS-66 or better.&nbsp; Bragging rights.&nbsp; My collection is better than yours.&nbsp; Don&#039;t get caught up in it.&nbsp; Collect what you want and what you can afford and I assure you my friend, you&#039;ll have a &quot;fine collection&quot;........<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[edit]&nbsp; Oh dear, I didn&#039;t realize I was in the &#039;ancients&#039; arena but the logic still applies......[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
