<p>[QUOTE="Cazkaboom, post: 1337580, member: 33215"]Trust me, your collection is always better than another's collection. Why? Because you put time and effort into putting the coins you like and maybe have bought one of those "WHY DID I BUY THIS???" coins, but turned to love it. I know I have done that. If you start having a contest at who can pee further up a rope, you are just gonna get wet. You'll be trying ton one-up their coins even though it is a series you absolutely despise. Your focus will be diverted from what you really love, for me it is Mercury Dimes, to something you absolutely hate (Susan B. Anthony dollars for me). One of my friends recently completed his UNC/proof/variety set for SBAs and I almost was tempted to go with graded proofs rather than his raw proofs to one up him, but then realized I will be wasting my money because it is the coin I hate the most and doesn't get much of a return, so I am working on my short-set of mercury dimes. Just ignore it and move on with yours, if you don't you will definitely regret it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
