However didn't you just post a few weeks ago that you regretted that your collection albeit extensive had relatively few higher-end "trophy/centerpiece" coins?
I am sure you are right, pretty sure I have mentioned
that I would like some higher end coins in my collection.
My income level is not where I can out and purchase $1000
coins just because I have a want. I have to do some planning
for it.
I have been putting a lot of thought into which type of "better" coins I would like to acquire. My situation
is that I have been buying most of my coins, the past
couple years and a few local coin shops. So many times
I am buying coins based on what they have.
These quarters were not the only coins I bought last week.
I also bought a bust dime, 1840 large cent and a seated
quarter. And since one of my goals this year is to put away
more silver, I picked up a couple
ASE's and this years 1oz
silver elephant. Also a 1959 and 1960 proof set are still
sitting on my desk, I think I have those already .. so not
sure why I bought them either.
State Quarters give me the distraction I need, when better
coins are not available to me locally. I feel it is ok
to put the quarters away, when I am only paying face for
them. It is like putting cash away just in coin and not
folding money.
Back to your point .. you are right I should be putting a
a few more better coins away.
