This past week reminded me why I love this hobby so much

Greetings!

This has been a hell of a year in the coin world, if you ask me. Especially if you collect Silver American Eagles in MS and Proof state.

I was totally dismayed after getting the email from the Mint stating that the Silver Eagle collectors mintages would be cancelled this year, actually "until further notice". Maybe that means next year, too? Who knows?

But, I soon realized that this hobby has too many other aspects to be too distraught. I soon realized that my photos could use a re-do. The Prezzies (in Proof state) are certainly worth having. The Peace Dollars are also a grand acquisition. OH! and my SAE set is 55% complete, which means if I need EXCITEMENT I can always bid on the SAE's I am missing. Same can be said for my Peace Dollars, my $5 gold set, etc.

So, this hobby always has another aspect to it to stay dismayed for too long, and The Collectors Society always gives me an outlet for improving my sets.

Good luck everyone in this very exciting hobby!
