<p>[QUOTE="saltysam-1, post: 1602687, member: 23368"]When I began collecting, I would say up to $250 was my comfort level. That was years ago. Like cpm9ball, I'm also retired and now look at upgrading my collection. I do this by selling my weaker coins and purchase high end coins. So common sets (Walkers, Morgans, Franklins, Barbers, etc..) are no longer sought after, in fact, these are the type of coins I'm now selling for the purchase of better. I want to reduce my collection from about 350 pieces to about 10 or 15. However the total investment will be the same. This makes for some really interesting potential purchases, and it's at a time when my accumulated knowledge has/will help me greatly. So the purchases are now up in the mid four figure range and I'm having a very rewarding and satisfying time without spending a dime of extra funds. I'll be at the FUN Show in January and will take some more coins with me to sell while seeking no specific coin to buy. It's a different experience to be able to do this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
