I can understand that, and CCF is a great place to get
ideas.
Your idea of taking 2K to the Fun show is a pretty good idea.
I might have to try that sometime. If I was going to do that, and had months to plan it, I am sure my idea of what coin(s) to buy would change many times.

I plan on getting rid of quite a bit of the "junk" in my collection and swapping it out for higher grade, quality coins. I'm planning on combining that with the money I'll save between now and January and predict I should end somewhere around there.
I've been planning this for a few days now, and I've already changed quite a few times. I think I may use about 75% of it to buy a Jaw Dropper, and use the remaining 25% to buy whatever strikes me as a good deal or superb eye appeal.

A Saint-Gaudens $20, a Charlotte or Dahlonega mint classic gold coin...hmm, what else. MS65DMPL Morgans. Any Matte Proof Lincoln Cents. An 1893-S Morgan. Lots of possibilities.

Some of you might disagree, but I would rather have a few coins costing several hundred each than just one for two grand. Certain series and gold aside, you can get a lot of coin for $500.

You have no idea how much I just want to sell off a lot of my higher tier stuff to buy a gold $2.50... Then I just tell myself "Wait until my birthday/Christmas..." But everytime I go on ebay or look at the RedBook I just think of the possibilities even if I just sold part of my collection! |

Nothing wrong with reorganising your collection to suit your new goals , I do this all the time  You just have to remember that you will have to "Live with" the decision to sell a particular coin from your collections, this can be Tough. I recently was lucky enough to repurchase an MS65 Canberra Florin I reluctantly sold to finance some Gold acquisitions, That was a happy day  |

I would find the best struck, problem free, brown or red/brown 1909 S VDB in the place. No question.

COTW, I'd really hate to tell you what part of my collection it is. (Some LWC). I found myself never really pulling them out and looking at them. I know they have amazing history behind them.. but they just don't compare to a DMPL Morgan or some of the other coins in my collection I enjoy to gaze at. I feel as though I started the set just because I thought of it as easy, I still haven't finished it and may go after it again one day.. A lot of the coins are VG/G and they just don't POP when I take a look at the album. I'll probably end up buying a nice MS64-65 '09 VDB with part of the money. I feel that I will enjoy that coin more than the partial set of lower grade stuff. |

I went to the FUN show in Orlando in January. Had a blast! Anyway, I would probably buy an nice XF - AU 1840 Seated Liberty dollar for my 7070 and cross a few less expensive items off my need lists so after spending $2000 I could have 5 or 6 coins rather than a single one. |
