I can stop.
I have done it with comic art, I can do it with coins. Personally I feel changing things up keeps its fresh.

A few savvy, intellectual, prominent collectors tell me the same thing. "Man, I wish my wife could understand this".
If a man has a wife who understands what and where he is with his "collecting", I'd say he's really close to having completed his affairs , but never his collection. The greatest collectors in the world never reached completion. Do you think they thought they did ?

I like dreaming.

no, itll never be complete.

Your collection would be complete if you added.....just one more coin. That's all I need.

Isn't it always just one more coin?

Treashunt · January 22, 2013 5:40AM

It'll be complete when have every coin in the world.

MrHalfDime · January 22, 2013 5:40AM

My collection will be 'complete' when I have acquired an AU-58 example of every die state of every die marriage of every date of United States half dime. Until that time I shall continue to collect and to study. 'Completion' is a concept foreign to most collectors, and runs contrary to their thinking. I hope that I am never 'complete'.

BillJones · January 22, 2013 6:26AM

It will never be complete because I always find something else that interests me after I have finished something. Quite often the coins in the completed set are part of the coins in the next set, since I don't do that much "date and mint" collecting.

Can't imagine ever being done ... but ...
a few things high on my wish list:

1. A colorful eye-appealing 1911 Matte Proof Lincoln ... PCGS grade PR65BN to PR66BN
2. A colorful 1966 SMS Nickel that has a shot at grading at PCGS
3. A colorful PCGS graded Proof Barber Half Dollar with monster eye appeal that is not crazy expensive
4. A colorful Presidential Dollar that has a shot at grading at PCGS
5. A colorful 1982-S Proof Lincoln that has a shot at grading at PCGS
6. A colorful eye-appealing 1910 Matte Proof Lincoln ... PCGS grade PR66BN
