Looks impressive!!

Greetings, and Happy Veterans Day to my fellow US citizens, and all the best to my fellow world citizens.

I got a pretty large envelope in the mail the other day from the Mint containing the 2009 gift catalog chock full of coins from 2008, and a great preview of the new St Gaudens high relief coin.

It even features some edge encrypting like our prezzies, which leads me to wonder when, not if the error coins with no edge lettering is going to come about. I do realize that the gold coins do under go some close scrutiny....but still, I am sure some will slip by with no edge lettering, whether by mistake or on purpose.

A re-curring theme in my posts lately is the fact that the financial crisis has hit home with me, and I am just in the wings here awaiting a time to get back in the game.

I am certain the day will be here very soon as I am paying off some debts more quickly than I anticipated.

I am planning on 2009 to be a stellar year for my collection, with the ASE set being completed, and a good dent put on the Proof Silver Eagles as well.

I wish all of you the best, and once again much thanks for your journals here.
