Would you rather have a" better" date, or a better grade?

Which of the two would you be more likely to upgrade when given the chance?

Generally, but not always, I haven’t done well with upgrades. I lose money in the short term. I feel it is better to buy what you want, in the first place, and then hold it for the long term. I know this isn’t always possible or practical, but I try to do it, when I can.

Understood. Still, I think that when choosing between two coins, it's usually best to choose the one you think you're less likely to want to upgrade later. Which is consistent with your philosophy of avoiding upgrades, of course. I just think that when you're on the fence between two coins, the mental exercise is useful.

OK, I couldn't tell if you were pro-upgrade or not. Yes, I do agree with you.

Always looking for the tougher dates, even if I already have them. Common dates can be had anytime, anyplace, and most likely long after I'm gone.
