This year my goal has been to add a few high-cool-factor (more expensive) coins to my collection, instead of a lot of so-so-cool-factor (lower cost) coins. Quality over quantity. I was finding I was purchasing a lot of coins I liked, but that I didn't love. Now I require the "love" factor for purchase. So far it's working out pretty well, and I've only fallen off the wagon with a couple purchases in 2014. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
