[QUOTE="walterallen, post: 539820, member: 4068"]Ultimately everyone has a different passion about coins. And that passion can change over time as mine has over the years. I started collecting anything I found that "I" thought was neat. Then as I studied numismatics my attitude, perception, and passion changed as well. Today I prefer MS or UNC coins because to me they represent the best examples of that type of coin. Yet I have many many circulated coins because to own a MS of that year/date is not or may never be in my budget. There are times when I would rather have one MS example of a SLQ then the 8 F/VF ones that I do have. Finding someone to give you what you want or what you think your coins are worth can be impossible. When I was buying coins, back when I had plenty of money to spend, I soon learned not to impulse buy because the little things collectively would limit if not exclude the my ability to buy one high dollar coin in the long run. I have learned patience, specially now with no funds for coins. IMHO a coin is only worth what you can get for it, not what the Mags and TPGs say it should be worth. Remember one man's "junk" is another man's treasure. Keep on Collecting!!! Allen[/QUOTE]
