A short entry this time...

Well, the year is about over, and I have almost no regrets other than I wish I would have started collecting coins..namely Silver Eagles, much earlier. I love the Silver Eagles, and I am grateful for the fun and longing, and sometimes sadness the collection has brought me.

This is my first year collecting, and I feel I have acquired some coins that many people would never get the chance to, so I feel fortunate. I have learned a lot from you all, and I feel I have much more to learn as my pursuit of happiness in collecting continues.

Thanks to all of you have have taken time to read my journal here, and for looking at my registry ( I am working on uploading images, this will be done next year) Thanks to all of you with whom I have shared emails with, I have enjoyed your kind words and advice.

And mostly, thanks to NGC and the Collectors Society for giving us all a venue to share our passion of collecting.

You have done a very admirable job here.

The best to everyone this holiday season and into next year...and good luck on that special find!!
