<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pellinore, post: 5372115, member: 74834&quot;]On January 1, 2021 I set myself a few goals. </p><p>1. Wait with buying the first coin till the end of the month.</p><p>2. Buy only coins that make a chance to come in one of my toptens (I had 29 coins in these, for 2020, plus five in the <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/tops-of-2020.372478/#post-5360801" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/tops-of-2020.372478/#post-5360801">introduction</a> to them). That is, the medieval <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/first-top-ten-of-twenty-twenty.372539/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/first-top-ten-of-twenty-twenty.372539/">islamics</a>, the <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/celtic-tops-of-twenty-twenty.372607/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/celtic-tops-of-twenty-twenty.372607/">Celts</a> and the Rest, including <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/beasts-from-the-valerian-gallienus-dynasty.339243/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/beasts-from-the-valerian-gallienus-dynasty.339243/">Beasts</a> that are interesting but no beauties, and the ones that yield pleasurable hours of numismatic <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/my-worst-coin-of-2020-but-what-is-it.372652/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/my-worst-coin-of-2020-but-what-is-it.372652/">study</a>. Don&#039;t let yourself be taken away again by one of those mediocre auctions, and don&#039;t be afraid to spend a bit more on the good ones.</p><p>3. Sell the cheapies and the duplicates, or swap them (<i>but how? but how?</i> I may have hundred or two hundred). That&#039;s the big problem.</p><p>4. Remember you are doing this for your own pleasure, don&#039;t worry about your heirs. And if you make a mistake with a coin, give it away, swap it, or in case of a fake, throw it away. </p><p><br /></p><p>[1a. This didn&#039;t work out, for yesterday I bought three coins in an auction. One (very small) Beast and two Beauties. I hope. You will see them.][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
