ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4346 Posts	Posted 01/08/2024 10:45 am Ditto to all! Step back awhile, Matt, and consider how you want your collection to be, to look, say ten years from now. IMHO, accumulating coins is easy, a no-brainer. Seriously collecting them involves thought and planning. Report this Post to the Staff

As a result, I have lots of low or mid grade coins or problem coins. I've been really trying to step back recently and wait on the "right" coin to hit the market. Collecting is a ultra marathon, not a sprint. It's really difficult for me to not get excited and make purchases, but I think having discipline and restraint will serve me better long term in having a collection I'm happy with.

thq Pillar of the Community United States 3259 Posts	Posted 01/08/2024 11:29 am No one of us ever has the best coin. I still have both of my 1858-S half eagles. One of them is an ugly ground find, the other is VF cleaned. I like them both simply because they are 1858-S half eagles. There are better ones that cost ten times as much but I'm not interested in owning them. They belong in someone else's collection. You own the best coin you can afford.
