Questions to ask yourself

  1. What type of collection do you want to build?
  2. What are your collecting goals?
  3. What type of collector are you? A deal seeker or a top-drawer collector?

The Deal Seeker: Everyone loves a deal, right?

This type of collector is looking to build their collection at minimal cost and willfully sacrifices quality to complete a series. For some collectors, completing the collection is the primary focus, while ensuring every coin is consistent and attractive is secondary and unimportant.

The Top-Drawer Collector: This type of collector typically has a fantastic collection of quality coins that every collector would love to own.

That doesn't mean they are expensive, but it does mean they took extra time and care to build their collection, understanding that premium quality coins often command premium quality prices. These collections tend to perform better long term than Deal Seeker Collections.

We try to cater to all collectors, offering a little something for everyone. Ask yourself which type of collector you are and what type of collection do you want to build. Happy collecting!
