Poll Question
I was wondering how many people concentrate on buying individual coins or rolls or other bulk quantities.
I, myself am more of bulk buyer. I'll buy rolls of wheats or merc dimes, and maybe pull one or two out that I need. The only individual coin that I've bought is my UNC 1909VDB. I'll have to start buying eventually, if I ever want to finish any of my series' that I'm working on.

Actually, I've done all of these, but getting something cheaper is better.

I'm a world coin collector. Pretty much everything in my collection came from dealers or the local coin club auction, or gifts from holidaying friends/relatives.

I buy rolls & sets only from the mint thats the lowest cost to me and (some times) key dates from the secondary market but if I realy want a coin then I will pay top dollar for it !

After amassing my collection from dealers, etc for the past 35 years, I have started to roll hunt with my daughter. It's quite fun and I've pulled out a few things for myself.

To find out how I voted you'll have to read my book ... "Confessions of a Cherry-Picker".  |

Why have 100 of the same thing when you can have 100 different items?

I try to by small bulk lots of various type coins (about 5-10). I keep the ones I like and sell the rest. I'm pretty conservative with my bids, though.

Didn't vote. I vary my methods of coin collecting to often. Never mess with rolls. Most are from people that have already searched them. Occationally do get a bag of coins from the bank though. Way to many coin shows, coin stores, flea markets with coins for me around here.

Looking for all aspects of the function.  I am pretty new at this and have never even been to a show yet. Going in April to my first one. And getign to go to a shop this weekend is going to be a big thrill. |
