[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 3788146, member: 20480"]Because all available examples DO NOT look identical . . . in fact, the appearances of the many available examples are so wide ranging that it is a fun challenge to try and get them all looking as close to the same as possible. Perhaps a boring or unworthy endeavor to you, as compared with how others feel about it, but I know some others who are so passionate about this pursuit that they pay substantial premiums for a coin with just the right look to fit the established coins in their sets. One notable example is a particularly attractive set of circam VF / XF standing Liberty Quarters I've watched grow over the past dozen years or so. It is an awesome sight to behold, and I congratulate the owner every time I see it with a new addition or two. We all have our own motivations, some shared, and some completely opposite, but achieving our goals feeds our enthusiasm for the hobby, no matter how others view them.[/QUOTE]
