[QUOTE="Catbert, post: 540109, member: 12718"]Hmmm, lots of different issues being raised here. My advice is to not let another collector determine what turns you on in this hobby. If you like more coins for your dollar, then more power to you. If you seek Uncs and have less, then that is OK too. Since I desire higher grade coins, the cost makes me collect fewer of them. I hope that doesn't make me a snob. It is just my preference and I think it will also bring my heirs a better return if they decide to sell them someday. I would rather have a condition rarity than a mintage rarity since I can't afford to have both with my available cash. An example would be my one and only Barber quarter. I gain pleasure in seeing all the design features clearly. Tom - there will always be some tension between buying for pleasure and buying for possible long term resale value. I like to try and achieve both by collecting fewer coins/tokens in higher grades. However, your mileage may vary and I wouldn't presume to judge you about your approach to a hobby that you love! P.S. I don't consider myself rich![/QUOTE]
