If your collection had a slogan...

If your coin collection had a slogan what might it be?

Some popular advertising slogans off the top of my head:
The Relentless Pursuit of Perfection
Quality without Compromise
The Best or Nothing

On the quantity side perhaps:
Too Much Good Stuff
Low Prices are just the beginning
Always Low Prices, Always

Eclectic?
Reinvent Yourself

So think about it, choose one of the above or think of your own.

    "Collecting one of each major and minor US type 1793-2000, and early quarters and halves by die variety"

    Ok, so it's not trite or catchy, but it is accurate!

    I dabble in far too many varieties, to have anything too extraordinary in any of them.

    This Capital Plastic Multi-coin holder is worth more than the 1965-1999 dimes inside.

    "What is he thinking?!"
    When in doubt, don't.
  • I think if I were to name my collection I would make it the " Coins I Should Not Have Sold" collection and have it focus on all those coins I should not have sold. There is a great coin on the market right now that I sold several years ago, I sent it to cac myself and the coin was approved image After recieving the cac sticker I got an offer for the coin I simply couldnt refuse so I let her go. The coin is curently pulling more at auction then what I sold if for even though it was an offer at the time I couldnt refuse image

    << <i>"What is he thinking?!" >>

    Or more appropriately in my case: "WTH were you thinking?"
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    If my collection had a slogan:

    "I got what I for, or at least I tell myself that to stay sane"

    There used to be a big collector in Ohio who was known as "Unc Junk". The guy had massive amounts
    of mostly world coins in unc and he favored scarce moderns. He was reputed to have just about one of
    everything and bags of some things that are very difficult to locate. Alas he died back in the early '80's
    and his massive collection/ hoard was dispersed. He was active in the days that none of the moderns
    were even suspected of being scarce and bought almost anything that was uncirculated and not common.

    I've never been able to even approach the magnitude or scarcity of his collection but I have put effort
    into obtaining nice gems. I just used to look at lots of coins and kept as many gems as possible. So
    I guess my theme or name might be Gem Junk.

    "I value originality" is what I want it to be. Unfortunately, I think a better slogan might be "jack of all trades, master of none"
