I just had to have this one.

My last journal entry was full of doom and gloom on how the economy was forcing me to auction off a lot of my collection. Well, my situation has started to turn around and things are getting better at this time. I had received many messages from society member telling me that this day would arrive and it has. (Thanks again for all the positive messages; they really helped keep me get through these hard times).

The other day, I was checking the status of the few coins I have that are still being auctioned and I came across a beautiful nickel that I just had to have.

It is a 1938-D Buffalo Nickel graded MS-66 by NGC. I kept trying to tell myself that I didn?t need it, but after looking at it for the tenth time, I pulled the trigger and bought it.

Well it arrived yesterday and this Buffalo Nickel was even more beautiful in my hand than it was in the photos at the auction house. The photos didn?t capture the excellent golden toning that it possessed and this was an added bonus for me.

Now I believe that I can slowly get back into the game. I will take it slow and easy, so that in the future I will not be forced to sell my collection again.

Thanks for reading.
