One Coin at a Time.......................

Sometimes The First Step is Admitting You Have a Problem When I was much younger than I am today I used spend money on things that I knew would give me no return many years from now. This is why I turned back to the hobby that I love. One of my best friends in high school introduced me to numismatics and I started with a set of Lincoln's in a Blue Whitman Folder back in the 1970's (some of you that read these journal's, I know you can relate). Here is a picture of what this can evolve into whe

I Love a Smooth Edge !!!

"I got this from a US Mint-sewn bag (D Mint) that I ordered directly from the US Mint." A quote from the person I bought the coin from. Are We Having Fun yet with The Presidential Dollars Gang ?

Is Now The Time For Gold ???

Just Something to Consider............ I collect and enjoy coins as much as anyone who is a part of the NGC Registry, but as an "Old Fart" I just wanted to impart a little life experience and wisdom. Now may be the time for those that have never owned a certified gold coin to add one or two to there sets. Out of all the coins I have bought over the last 5 years of collecting I have had more appreciation on some of my nicer gold coins than anything else I have collected. Just a thought. King of

I Have "8 Tail Feather Fever"

This is a New Disease That I have recently "Acquired" I'm Addicted and I know the "First Step" is admitting that I have a problem. As you may be able to tell from my teaser comment I just acquired the 8 TF Morgan that has taken my set to first place in the Registry. This coin is the only one currently in NGC 64 DPL. I hope all of you enjoy the opportunity to be a part of my intervention. I know I need to be taken to Rehab to help with this cruel disease that robs me of cash from my wallet. I s

8 TF Fun !!!

It's just like Christmas all year round................. I have been reading some of the other journals that collector's have been sharing recently and I am finding a common theme through each of the journal entries, this hobby is a lot of "Fun" !!! As I write this on a Saturday evening I find myself going back and forth to the bible, aka Comprehensive catalog and encyclopedia of Morgan & Peace dollars....fourth edition. I enjoy so much looking at those first year Morgan dollars, you know

Funky President's !!!

I can't wait for John Adams to show his face. A few weeks ago I kind of Poo Poo'd the fact that the President's would not be very fun to collect, and that since it is a modern coin and they make so many of them they will never be worth the Mish Mash of Metal that they are struck on. Since a little time has gone by and since I bought a couple of the First Day of Issue Washington's I'm now very excited and can't wait for the John Adams to come out. I have met a couple more people within the hobb
