Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3233 Posts	Posted 09/10/2007 12:11 pm I had an interesting conversation with a guy that collects Navaho weavings and it actually relates to coin collecting. He stated when he first started collecting them, with minimal knowledge, he found a lot that he liked and the prices were reasonable. Once he started really learning about them, he discovered things like how much a tighter weave makes a difference in the quality (and price) and how "authentic" it is if it has a "spirit line". Now, armed with this knowledge, the his hobby got a lot more expensive and challenging. I'm sure this relates to virtually any collecting hobby. Knowledge is king. Once you start understanding what you collect, you'll never view your collection the same again. Hence, what's not a problem coin to you today, will likely become one tomorrow. And, of course, finding those nice, original, eye-appealing, problem free coins is quite challenging and could be a bit more expensive. Report this Post to the Staff

Over the last few months I have sold off most of my common date, low grade coins, & used the money to buy "better" coins. I don't have anywhere near the quantity that I used to have, but quality has gone way up. There are 2 advantages(IMO) to doing this. First, the "better" coins will always outperform common coins in terms of holding, or increasing, value. Second, I have found that I enjoy my coins a lot more now. I get a lot more enjoyment out of looking at my 1864 AU 2 cent piece than I did out of the several silver halves(that were only worth bullion value) I traded for it. Report this Post to the Staff

I am glad however that it has gone to a good home and will not have to spend any more time locked away in my cataloged 2 Cent folder Report this Post to the Staff
